The Lanesborough, London
Nestled between Kensington and Mayfair on the corner of Hyde Park, The Lanesborough is one of London’s most iconic hotels The grand Regency building is littered with historical details – think frescos, chandeliers and ornately corniced ceilings overlaid with 2,100 sheets of gold leaf – and the walls are lined with thousands of original artworks.
DINING
Celebrated for its exceptional food and drink, the Lanesborough Grill has been named one of the best restaurants near Buckingham Palace by the Michelin Guide. Set in a glass-domed dining room at the heart of the hotel, the flagship eatery offers a seasonal menu of modern British cuisine, with signature dishes including coronation crab salad, beef wellington and dover sole. It also provides an elegant setting for the hotel’s decadent afternoon tea.

The Library Bar offers the intimate atmosphere of a private club, while the Garden Room is a hidden oasis tucked away from the bustle of Hyde Park Corner where you can sample some of the world’s finest cognacs and armagnacs. With its hand-painted trompe l’oeil marbling and chandeliers, the Withdrawing Room is an elegant setting for drinks and light bites.
