Underground: Hyde Park Corner
 Opened in 1991, The Lanesborough rapidly became the place to go in London. The hotel is noted for having all the latest high-tech gadgetry, which is cleverly concealed behind a sea of mahogany furnishings. Indeed, façade is everything here; this luxury hotel was created inside the gutted shell of the former St. George's Hospital, a beautiful, classic, white building that dominates the western side of Hyde Park Corner. Marketed as a stately country home in the heart of central London, it is filled with large-scale antique furniture, acres of marble, yards of beautiful fabric and huge flower arrangements. It may feel like a stately home of the 1820s, but the comforts of the twenty-first century are evident throughout. Rooms have triple-glazed windows and are beautifully furnished in mahogany. The hotel's arrival policy is singular: guests are escorted to their room and introduced to their private butler who will unpack, run baths and, most importantly, explain the state-of-the-art equipment---all in a very traditional British manner. Apsleys - A Heinz Beck Restaurant features modern Italian cuisine and is also the home of the hotel's award winning tea service. The wood-paneled Library Bar, complete with books, is delightful for drinks and light meals. Details throughout are faultless, from personalized stationery to complimentary pressing by the 24-hour butler service. The Royal Suite includes the use of a Rolls Royce and a personal 24-hour butler for £7,500. The property recently added the only luxurious outdoor smoking space in London, complete with a impressive walk-in humidor and fancy cognacs. |
