Right in the middle

The spa
Six minimalist treatment rooms host Thai massage and acupuncture, and private steam rooms sit nearby.

The private fitness studio has cardio machines and open space for personal training and yoga.
Dogs stay too.

Nobu serves Japanese-Peruvian dishes overlooking Hyde Park. On the ground floor, Labombe cooks over an open flame.
