The Peninsula lands in London with the poise of a Hong Kong house that brooks no half-measures.
The Peninsula London
From
1,660.013 €
“25-metre indoor pool under Art Deco glass roof, one of the capital's most spectacular.”
The Peninsula London opened in 2023 in the former Laos embassy headquarters, facing Hyde Park Corner. We find the Peninsula signature: white marble, precious woods, military service without being stuffy. The 190 rooms play the card of contemporary classicism, onyx bathtubs, invisible technology (integrated tablets, programmable lighting). The Bamford spa extends over 1 800 m² with hammam, Finnish sauna, treatment cabins with organic oils. Brooklands, the gastronomic table signed Claude Bosi (3 Michelin stars elsewhere), offers a modern British menu in a 1920s decor. From 1 660 € per night, we pay for operational excellence and novelty, not yet the patina of London's great palaces ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Peninsula to travellers who want a new palace, without the dusty heritage of London institutions. It's a hotel for international executives, fortysomething couples on a Knightsbridge shopping weekend, affluent families who prefer invisible technology to outdated charm. Peninsula Asia regulars find their bearings here, millimetric service and flawless efficiency.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The Peninsula occupies a neoclassical building from 1828, former Laos embassy headquarters until 2023. Interiors by Peter Marino: Carrara white marble, walnut wood, brushed brass, Art Deco glass roof over the pool. The 190 rooms measure between 45 and 230 m², onyx bathtubs, tablets integrated into the walls. No historic patina here, everything still smells of new.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
Brooklands, Claude Bosi's gastronomic table (three Michelin stars at Bibendum), offers a modern British menu, Cornwall lobster, Scottish game, cellar of 3 000 references. Canton Blue serves classic Cantonese cuisine, steamed dim sum, lacquered duck carved in the dining room. The Lobby for afternoon tea, Brooklands Bar for signature cocktails. Book Brooklands three weeks ahead at weekends.
