THE PENINSULA, LONDON
The Peninsula London, perfectly positioned at the intersection of Hyde Park Corner and Wellington Arch, is a statement in timeless elegance and British refinement. Years in the making and meticulously designed, the hotel marks the long-anticipated arrival of the iconic Peninsula brand in the UK capital. With its grand façade and sweeping views over Hyde Park, the property blends into its historic surroundings while setting a new benchmark for contemporary luxury in the heart of the city.
Designed by Peter Marino, the interiors are a masterclass in restraint and sophistication. Understated palettes, fine British craftsmanship, and bespoke detailing run throughout the hotel’s rooms and suites, which are among the most spacious in London. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood each space with natural light, while curated art collections, handcrafted furnishings, and advanced in-room technology create a quiet sense of modernity and comfort.
Beyond the rooms, The Peninsula London is a destination in its own right. Its rooftop restaurant and bar offer panoramic skyline views paired with culinary excellence, while Canton Blue – a signature Chinese dining experience – nods to the brand’s heritage with dramatic interiors and bold, flavour-forward menus. The spa, located underground, is a sanctuary of calm beneath the city streets, offering state-of-the-art wellness treatments and serene spaces for rest and reset.
Whether arriving by one of the hotel’s custom Rolls-Royce Phantoms or simply stepping in from the bustle of Belgravia, guests are met with the Peninsula’s renowned hospitality: discreet, impeccable, and deeply personal. This is not just a hotel—it is a celebration of place, legacy, and the effortless art of luxury living.
