The Peninsula has made an announcement regarding its newest hotel, The Peninsula London, which is now open for reservations starting from September 12, 2023. The newly constructed hotel, designed and decorated to showcase exceptional British craftsmanship, is located at a prestigious intersection in the city, where Hyde Park Corner meets Wellington Arch. The Peninsula London is offering an exclusive promotion to its inaugural guests. During a limited period, visitors who book one of the lavishly appointed rooms or suites at The Peninsula London can enjoy various special privileges.

The architectural design of The Peninsula London aims to blend harmoniously with the historic buildings of Belgravia, while also presenting a sleek and spacious aesthetic. Natural light fills the exquisite interiors, which have been meticulously designed by Peter Marino. The hotel is accompanied by 25 opulent luxury residences, and its focal point is a vast off-street courtyard that resembles a classic English garden. The courtyard is adorned with cascading ivy, wisteria vines, and 120-year-old Japanese maples, providing guests with an elegant and convenient off-street arrival, complete with valet parking and an underground garage. Many of the city’s renowned landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, The Royal Parks, The Palace of Westminster, Harrods, and the boutiques of Bond Street, are within a leisurely 15-minute walk. Alternatively, guests can opt for transportation in one of the hotel’s luxurious chauffeured cars.

The Peninsula London offers 190 understatedly luxurious guest rooms and suites, ranging from 51 to 59 square meters (549 to 635 square feet) in size. These accommodations feature bespoke furnishings, textiles, and artworks that exude the ambiance of sophisticated private residences. Each room includes a mahogany-paneled dressing room, an exquisite bathroom adorned with honey onyx, and custom fittings crafted by renowned British artisans. Many of the rooms also boast floor-to-ceiling windows that provide unparalleled views of Wellington Arch and the historic neighborhood of Belgravia.

The hotel boasts an impressive selection of special-event venues that will be unveiled later this year. One notable space is the St. George Ballroom, a grand pillarless ballroom with back-of-house elevators spacious enough to accommodate motorcars. Additionally, the hotel offers a range of gathering spaces, including versatile conference rooms and an intimate private cinema. All of these venues are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and are serviced by the attentive special-event staff of the hotel.

The Peninsula London takes pride in its world-class dining and drinking establishments. Guests can indulge in exquisite cuisine and beverages at the hotel’s sophisticated restaurants, bars, and lounges. The rooftop restaurant, Brooklands, helmed by Michelin-starred Chef Director Claude Bosi, offers modern British dishes alongside top-notch libations. The restaurant also features a tasting lounge and a cigar storage area overseen by Manu Harit, a certified “Master of Havana Cigars.” Inspired by classic British aviation and motorsport, the restaurant’s spaces create a captivating ambiance. Canton Blue and its adjacent bar, Little Blue, celebrate the fusion of Asian and British cultures through innovative Chinese cuisine, cocktails, teas, and captivating decor. The Lobby, with its soaring ceilings, is the ideal setting for traditional Peninsula Afternoon Tea and globally inspired culinary delights, often accompanied by live music. For a more casual dining experience, The Peninsula Boutique and Café offer a range of freshly made salads, sandwiches, and desserts throughout the day.

Guests of The Peninsula London will have access to a diverse range of relaxation and wellness options. Opening later this year, the hotel’s Spa and Wellness Centre will offer an extensive menu of mind-body therapies. The fully equipped modern fitness center will provide exercise classes and workshops. Guests can also enjoy swimming in the beautifully illuminated 25-meter indoor swimming pool. To enhance the well-being experience, a dedicated digital Wellness Portal will grant guests round-the-clock access to wellness programming from the comfort of their rooms.
