The Peninsula, London
Expert reviews
“There can’t be many more serenely frictionless bubbles in London. All the hallmarks of one of the world’s most iconic hotel brands are here – the pristine service, the all-encompassing tech, the Rolls-Royces in brand green, the tinkly underwater music in the pool; every lion statuette, marble surface and Japanese maple tree blessed by a hallowed feng shui master.”
“The Peninsula has a feeling of spaciousness not possible in converted period buildings, resulting in an overall feeling of opulence. Public rooms boast triple-height ceilings (quadruple height for the 82-foot heated pool) and standard doubles are the size of small apartments, with floor-to-ceiling windows, sofas, mahogany-paneled walk-in dressing rooms, and huge onyx marble bathrooms.”
“Dubbed the Big Smoke’s first “billion-pound hotel,” the Peninsula’s newest outpost has been in the making for more than 30 years — and now, it arrives just in time to carve its name alongside the big players of London’s ever-emerging luxury hotel scene. “
“The Peninsula kick-started London’s venture into the new generation of uber-luxury hotels, with its multi-Michelin-starred rooftop dining, impressive spa, stellar views, premium location – and prices to match. No expense has been spared here, particularly in the rooms, which are huge for London and extremely well appointed.”

All you need to know
The Peninsula London is seriously elegant. Think Belgravia prestige meets top-tier modern luxury. It’s located right between Hyde Park Corner and Wellington Arch, so you’re walking distance away from Buckingham Palace, Harrods, and the Royal Parks.
The building itself is fresh but feels timeless, designed to complement the classic architecture around it, with interiors by Peter Marino that bring in natural light, bespoke British craftsmanship, and carefully curated artwork.
Inside, it’s pure indulgence: 190 spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, mahogany-panelled dressing rooms, and honey-on-yx bathrooms.
The wellness center is impressive. There’s a two-floor spa, a 25-meter swimming pool with daylight-mimicking ceilings and underwater music, and treatment rooms that feel like a calm sanctuary.
For dining, you’ve got everything from a rooftop restaurant (Brooklands) led by Michelin-starred Claude Bosi to a stylish Chinese spot called Canton Blue, and an all-day Lobby for tea and light bites.

We loved it. Thsnks for having us.
No expense spared in rooms. Beautiful and comfortable.
The lobby area to take afternoon tea perhaps not as luxurious as other parts of the property.

Exquisite Elegance in The Peninsula London
My stay at The Peninsula London was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I stepped into the elegant lobby, I was enveloped in a world of luxury and sophistication. The spacious rooms, adorned with comfortable beds and meticulously designed bathrooms, provided the perfect retreat after a day of exploring the city. The hotel's facilities exceeded my expectations, offering everything I could possibly need for a memorable stay. The breakfast spread was a culinary delight, and the staff's friendly demeanor and genuine smiles added a special touch to the experience. I wholeheartedly recommend The Peninsula London to anyone seeking an exceptional stay in the heart of the city.

Please give attention to my feedback
The location is amazing, the gym was amazing too. The staff are very polite.
This is my fifth or sixth stay at the hotel. This time I was disappointed by the toilet in my room 611. The power of the water in the toilet seat was low and the cleaning of the room, attention to detail was missing like ( refilling used stuff, etc ). Also at few times there was a very bad smell in the gym. Also, response to phone calls from room was very this time and slow. I am worried that quality drops.

State of Art Hotel
Amazing location, wonderful state of art facility and very friendly staff.
The hotel was overpriced and they asked for a 1000 GBP security deposit upon check in, which was quite too much. Though, they refunded it immediately upon check out which is great.

Exceptional!
Everything. The service was outstanding. We had food in the restaurant and room service, the food was exceptional. The rooms are decorated beautifully and have all the mod cons, they literally have everything you need and more with a vast selection in the mini bar. The spa is a great place to relax and have a really well sized pool, jacuzzi, steam and saunas. We will certainly be back again soon. Our new favourite hotel!
