It’s class and luxurious charm on offer in this dramatic hotel in upper class Mayfair. Eleven stories of sophistication and utter elegance dominate view of Hyde Park. There are 192 rooms to choose from, sculpted from marble, glass and steel.

The epically proportioned spa offers treatments in nine rooms and homely yet gourmet Italian cuisine is on the menu at Amaranto Restaurant. It’s also modern: there are LCD TVs and wifi throughout the legendary hotel too.

Claridge’s

This hotel has been running for a 100 years and is a popular haunt for celebs, musicians and socialites the world over. It’s an Art Déco gem that bespeaks style and cutting edge design, complete with snappy service and fresh cut flowers to boot. It’s close to award winning restaurants and heart-winning shopping trips. Only five minutes’ from Savile Row and  Oxford Circus, it’s pretty central too. That is, of course, if you really want to leave the comfort of your suite or penthouse.
