"In Knightsbridge I found The Berkeley beloved for old-fashioned rooms and a wonderful rooftop pool, popular with in-the-know artists and celebrities, alongside a state-of-the-art spa and a delightful afternoon tea." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"An imposing property with generous scale and a long history, I saw it as a gorgeous example of the capital's grand, old-line hotels." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A stone’s throw away from luxury department store Harvey Nichols, the doormen at The Berkeley wait to greet you. Venture deeper into this super-chic, Two-MICHELIN-Key hotel and you’ll find its glorious afternoon tea offering. The current incarnation, pioneered by celebrated pastry chef Cédric Grolet, is ‘Goûtea’, which combines French sweet treats with the traditional British afternoon tea. Among the creations on offer, look out for Cédric’s famous trompe l’oeil fruits." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"If you're looking for extreme comfort and personalised service, then The Berkeley is the hotel for you. Set beside Hyde Park, it offers the opportunity to lose yourself for a while in the city's biggest Royal Park, as you wander the rose garden or unwind beside the waters of the Diana Memorial Fountain. Back in the hotel, there's a pleasingly traditional English country house air, with spacious rooms providing the ultimate in classical comfort. Have afternoon tea in the Caramel Room, enjoy a drink in the art deco Blue Bar or take time for yourself in the state-of-the-art spa, then head for the best vantage point the hotel has to offer: the heated rooftop pool. Open from 7am-7pm for the exclusive use of hotel guests, this is said to be a favourite spot of none other than Madonna – and it's easy to see why! You can float in the pool while taking in the leafy outlook over Hyde Park, take up residence on a blue and white striped sun-lounger to enjoy views across Knightsbridge's rooftops, or sip cocktails in the open-air bar looking over the crescents of Belgravia." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Closer to downtown, The Berkley has an old‑school feel though it comes across as a bit dated." - Missy Frederick
