The fashion-forward set has long been calling The Berkeley their home away from home, and not just because of the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star hotel’s proximity to Harvey Nichols, Harrods and Sloane Street designer shops.
The
stunning property excels at everything you’d expect but it turns the
everyday into the extraordinary – from cutting-edge architecture to
intuitive service and
indulgent rooms.
The boutique hotel is also renowned for its unique spin on afternoon tea, known as Cedric Grolet Goûtea, inspired by the themes and colors of the couture fashion world.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- The Berkeley added a fun twist on the traditional afternoon tea with the Cedric Grolet Goûtea. Changing every six months, the spring/summer and fall/winter menus draw on the season’s catwalk collections, with standout designer pieces reimagined through intricately decorated, colorful cakes, mousses and biscuits.
- For another atmospheric setting, try The Berkeley Bar & Terrace’s Snug, a petite room that’s drenched in muted pinks, including a wraparound mural. A photo here will make your Instagram feed pop.
- The four-floor Surrenne spa is an oasis of calm offering a modern approach to health, longevity and wellbeing.
- Take a dip in the seasonal rooftop pool, which offers a rare open-air respite in the heart of the city.
Things to Know
- Innovative design and a contemporary palette make each room feel soothing yet style conscious, with views across
Hyde Park, Belgravia and beyond.
- Taking things up a notch, each suite has its own original character – the hallmark of boundary-pushing designers
John Heah, Robert Angell, Helen Green and André Fu.
The Rooms
- Accommodations are finished to an impeccable standard. Carefully curated welcome amenities await you in the rooms, including house-made sweet treats and champagne.
- All rooms come with organic toiletries, a choice of two robes (light and thick pile) and glossy coffee table tomes provided by Taschen; all newly renovated accommodations are fitted with Toto toilets.
- Many of the front-facing rooms and suites feature spacious terraces and balconies to take in the sights, which stretch as far as The Shard.
- Children also get the star treatment, with little robes, slippers and balloons.
- Modern color schemes, stunning views of Hyde Park and exceptional outdoor terrace spaces place the hotel’s rooms and suites in a league of their own. Many even feature private balconies and skyline views.
The Restaurants
- Experience the vibrant atmosphere of the French Riviera at La Môme London. Tableside preparation, live DJs and a buzzy environment make it the perfect place to move from dinner into the late evening.
- With carved plasterwork, coral tones, wooden accents and vintage champagne, every evening at The Berkeley Bar and Terrace tells a tale.
- Look for one of London’s most Instagrammable pâtisserie experiences at Cedric Grolet. The hyper-realistic fruit and flower creations served at the UK’s only location almost look too pretty to eat.
