An art-filled hotel housed in eight Victorian townhouses, the Radisson Edwardian Sussex is a favourite of the fashion and media industries and lies next to Marble Arch, just one block from the bustling shops of Oxford Street in London. Selfridges department store is one block away from the hotel, Regent Street is 500 metres away, and Madame Tussauds is one-half mile away. Historical sights, including Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament, are within two miles of the hotel. London Heathrow Airport is 15 miles away, a driving time of about 90 minutes. Guests can take the Heathrow Express train, London's black taxi cabs or the London Underground's Piccadilly Line from the airport to the hotel.

Wenge wood walls and tables and hand-carved statues from India give a subtle Eastern feel to the Nova Restaurant and Bar. The glass bar, with its large frosted floral designs, provides a striking modern focal point, while the brown leather chairs are by Poltrona Frau, the Italian designers behind Ferrari's car interiors. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the bar-restaurant is also popular for its cocktails and has a number of house specialities, including the Chocolate Martini. Guests can unwind in the hotel's fitness centre with its modern cardiovascular machines, browse daily newspapers in the lobby, or use complimentary wireless Internet in public areas to check e-mail or plan a day's sightseeing.

The 101 guestrooms feature taupe colour schemes and are decorated with Wenge wood furnishings and original hand-painted Indian art. Bedding is hypoallergenic and features duvets, fine percale cotton, cushions and faux-fur throws in olive and burnt orange. The air-conditioned guestrooms have complimentary high-speed wireless Internet connections and laptop-sized safes. Sicilian marble bathrooms feature black slate floors and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries.
