If guests are travelling from outside the UK, we are also obliged by law to require guests to provide the number and place of issue of their passport/identity card and details of their next destination. These records will be kept for at least 12 months and may be disclosed or made available for inspection by any police officer or as otherwise required by applicable law in connection with the prevention or investigation of crime. The information above may be requested for each member of your party over the age of 16 and we reserve the right to refuse entry to persons who cannot provide the information set out above.The lead guest must be at least 18 years old and present at time of check-in.

Unless otherwise stated on the booking confirmation, Guests may check-in at any time from 3.00pm on the scheduled day of arrival.

Child Policy

The Cavendish London recognises children as being 12 years old or under. Please be aware that individuals over the age of 12 will be classed as adults and charged accordingly on arrival.

Payment

We accept the following methods of payment: credit cards: American Express, MasterCard/Diners International, Diners Club, JCB International Credit Card, Visa; debit cards - Visa/Delta and Visa/Electron. For advance purchase rates the card you booked with must be presented on arrival, along with the appropriate ID.

At the time of check-in we will authorise the accommodation charges (room rate, VAT and any service charge) and anticipated incidentals for the duration of your stay against your credit/debit card with a maximum of £2000. We may also choose to accept a deposit in place of payment card authorisation by another valid form of payment, including cash. 

For example: if the guest is staying 3 days we pre-authorise £200.00GBP accommodation charges per day x 3 days = £600.00 + £50.00 per day for any extras (ie. Bar, Restaurant, Room Service) x 3 days = £750.00 pre-authorisation. 

During your stay the hotel's system will calculate the incidentals charged to your room on a daily basis. If the cost of those incidentals exceeds the authorisation taken on check-in, further authorisation will automatically be requested and if such authorisation is not available, we may request another method of settlement or a deposit to be provided, failing which we reserve the right to restrict access to your room.

All outstanding charges must be paid for in full on check-out from the hotel. If the outstanding charges do not exceed the authorisation taken on check-in, the authorisation for the amount not utilised will be released. If staying for multiple nights at the hotel we may require you to make payment for any outstanding charges on a more frequent basis during your stay.

Please note that the release of the pre-authorised amount (or refund) usually takes twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours, but it can take up to seven (7) business days or more depending on the cardholder's bank

For foreign banks or cards issued outside the U.K. it can take up to 14 days
