Since it opened in 2014, this has been one of London’s most exclusive hot spots. Legendary hotelier André Balazs transformed a former fire station, located on a beautiful street in Marylebone, into a gorgeous, cozy, and very London-feel hotel. Grab a drink at their bar—one of our favorites in the (entire!) world. Interiors are timeless—cozy yet stylish, vintage yet glam. You will never want to leave. 

A bunch of Georgian town houses converted into a 92-room hotel. Owned and operated by the same family for over a century, this is the kind of hotel best known for its authenticity. Don’t stay here if you’re looking for something sceney and showy.

Since its 1987 opening, the Berkeley has been offering top-notch British-style service, earning its place as an institution in the city. Located in Knightsbridge, this hotel’s central location, iconic property, beautiful interiors, and iconic rooftop pool (the first of its kind in London) are big draws.

One of London’s most refined yet unpretentious hotels. Here, subtly, the old world meets the new. Amazing artworks (around 3,000) are on display all throughout the hotel, from artists like Damien Hirst to Barbara Hepworth. Hit their bar for one of the best (and most expensive) martinis we’ve ever had. 

Located in a beautiful neoclassical mansion overlooking Hyde Park, this hotel is British luxury at its maximum. All rooms come with friendly, accommodating butlers, and the spa is worth a visit on its own.

This project has been many years in the making, with Peninsula Hotels finally landing in London in late 2023. Located in one of the most sought-after locations in the city, many rooms feature beautiful views of Hyde Park. The newly built hotel joins the finest of British craftsmanship and artistry, and this one didn’t stop short when it comes to the Peninsula Hotels’ iconic car-fleet tradition, with four bespoke hybrid Bentley Bentaygas and a beautifully restored 1935 Rolls Royce Phantom.
