The Peninsula London was long in the making, and the result is one of the city’s most lavish lodgings.
“There can’t be many more serenely frictionless bubbles in London. All the hallmarks of one of the world’s most iconic hotel brands are here: the pristine service, the all-encompassing tech…”
“The colonnaded lobby sets the tone; it’s here, amidst the hand-painted de Gournay landscape murals and hand-blown chandeliers, guests partake of the ever-evolving afternoon tea.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly at Hyde Park Corner, the address borders royal parkland and Belgravia embassies, a short walk from Knightsbridge and Mayfair.
The rooms
Mahogany-lined dressing rooms feature private valet boxes, leading into honey onyx bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and interactive bedside tablets.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Landscape mosaic murals line the 25-metre subterranean pool, where overhead panels shift lighting to mirror the daylight cycle.
The spa and gym
Wood-panelled treatment suites offer Ayurvedic therapies and body-sculpting tech. Next door, the gym provides round-the-clock strength training.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
On the rooftop, Brooklands serves modern British cuisine beneath a suspended Concorde replica. Downstairs, The Lobby pours afternoon tea.
Bathed in natural light from towering windows, the lobby hums with soft jazz as the scent of fresh peonies lingers in the air.
How it began
The Kadoorie family spent over three decades securing this Hyde Park Corner site, replacing a mid-century office block with a purpose-built palace.
“Here, celebrity U.S. interior designer Peter Marino (making his U.K. hotel debut) dramatically carries the torch in The Lobby restaurant.”
