The Peninsula London, the first British hotel from the almost century-year old Peninsula brand, has opened this week between Hyde Park Corner and Wellington Arch.

Bringing spectacular new style and luxury to the heart of Belgravia, the newly-built hotel is designed and appointed to embody the finest British craftmanship and artistry, and is just steps away from Buckingham Palace, Knightsbridge and other iconic attractions.

The Peninsula London centres around an expansive, off-street courtyard, rare in bustling Belgravia, allows guests to arrive in discreet style – and to avail themselves of transport in the hotel’s luxury automotive fleet, which includes Rolls-Royce Phantom IIs, hybrid Bentley Bentaygas, an electrified 1960 vintage Austin taxi, and a painstakingly restored 1935 Rolls-Royce Phantom Sedanca de Ville.

World-renowned architect and designer of interiors Peter Marino has created a calm and refined aesthetic, with light-filled spaces inspired by grand British houses and surrounding nature.

The Peninsula London’s 190 spacious guest rooms and suites start at 50 square metres and feature bespoke furnishings, textiles, and original artworks that evoke the feel of chic private residences. All include mahogany-panelled dressing rooms, bathrooms of honey onyx stoneware, and customised fittings crafted by renowned British artisans; many have floor-to ceiling-windows with unparalleled views over Wellington Arch and historic Belgravia.

World-class dining and drinks can be enjoyed at six stylish restaurants, bars, and lounges. Early October will see the opening of the hotel’s signature rooftop restaurant, Brooklands, showcasing Modern British cuisine from Michelin-starred Chef Director Claude Bosi in a collection of spaces inspired by classic British aviation and motorsports by architects Archer Humphreys.

The Peninsula Spa and Wellness Centre, will open in November. For guests who enjoy high-end shopping, the hotel’s ground-floor retail arcade entices with nine luxury boutiques including Asprey London, DMR – David M Robinson Jewellery and Watches, Mouawad, Moussaieff Diamonds, opening before Christmas.

In December, four signature suites, three of which enjoy sweeping private balconies and terraces, will launch. The Peninsula Suite, the hotel’s most opulent suite, includes a private screening room and fitness centre.

The Peninsula London offers guests the utmost comfort and flawless attention to detail that are synonymous with the brand. Whether via in-room amenities and technology; inspiring, destination-specific arts programmes and cultural experiences; or global proprietary services like Peninsula Time (fully flexible check-in and check-out) and PenChat (access to a 24-hour digital concierge), the hotel exemplifies The Peninsula’s enduring commitment to its guests and larger community.

A special introductory offer of £1,300 is bookable until 30 November 2023. The offer includes daily breakfast, use of a House car, fully flexible check-in and check-out with Peninsula Time, and other benefits. More information can be found at The Peninsula London’s website.
