“No reception: a personal butler assigned from arrival, available 24/7 via direct phone.”
41 occupies a discreet address a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace, without lobby or desk. You're greeted by name. A personal butler manages the entire stay, from pressing to restaurant booked in 10 minutes. The 30 rooms blend dark wood panelling, black and white marble, king-size beds in Egyptian linen. The Executive Lounge serves champagne and canapés all day, no supplement. From 458 € a night, we pay as much for the service as the address. Our verdict: a model of London discretion, perfect for those fleeing grand palaces ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We send to 41 travellers who want a London pied-à-terre without the bustle of a palace. Couples on a royal weekend, executives on business who prefer a butler to a concierge, Belgravia regulars seeking discretion. Families with children will find the place too hushed, the clientele remains adult and anglophone.
