15 of the Best Hotels in London to Book Right Now - AFAR

"Located directly across from Hyde Park and near Buckingham Palace, this hotel blends historical touches (a dedicated royal entrance and a childhood ballroom still used for weddings) with a comprehensive modern restoration completed in 2019. Interior design by Joyce Wang references the park with art-deco flourishes; the property offers 141 renovated rooms and 40 suites, an enlarged spa, and notable dining including Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (two Michelin stars) and the Aubrey, an eclectic izakaya-style venue serving shared plates like wagyu sando and oxtail fried rice. The hotel emphasizes luxurious bathroom finishes, thoughtful nods to history, and strong wellness and culinary programs." - Sandra Ramani, Charu Suri, Katherine LaGrave, Jennifer Flowers, Laura Holt, Laura Dannen Redman
