Stylish and sophisticated, for anyone looking for a sanctuary in the heart of London, this is the spa to go to.
Set in London's Belgravia, The Peninsula London occupies one of the most prestigious addresses in the capital. Situated alongside Hyde Park Corner and Wellington Arch, it's just steps away from Kensington Gardens, as well as easy access to everything this impressive city has to offer.
A contemporary building, the hotel embodies the best of old world charm and modern design, with luxurious rooms and suites featuring sumptuous finishes and an abundance of light. Many look out onto the hotel's landscaped English courtyard, adding to the charm of the experience. Helping you find restoration all day long, you can also access guided in-room meditations, fitness equipment and aromatherapy self-care rituals.
The hotel ranks amongst one of the best places to dine in London, thanks to its collection of seven bars and restaurants. The Lobby offers all-day dining under double height ceilings, while Canton Blue is their Cantonese restaurant, flanked by Little Blue, their sophisticated cocktail bar. Brooklands by Claude Bosi has two Michelin Stars for its modern British menu, and drinks with a view of the skyline are the order of the day at the associated bar. The Tasting Room is the place for cigars, and The Peninsula Boutique & Café serves a cafe menu while you decide which artisanal chocolates to purchase.
The hotel's Peninsula Spa & Wellness Centre is a world of its own, where guests are invited to enjoy rest and relaxation. It's complete with a state-of-the-art, 24-hour fitness centre, a lavish, 25-metre swimming pool adorned with intricately-crafted mosaic artwork, separate steam and sauna rooms for men and women, and a relaxation lounge featuring heated lounge chairs.
The experience is complete with seven treatment rooms, including one dual suite, where therapists deliver a wide range of treatments, from holistic facials to energising massages, and unique spa rituals with a focus on Ayurvedic aromatherapy. The spa is also home to the Errol Douglas Hair Salon - an exclusive partnership with award-winning hairstylist, Errol Douglas MBE and his team.
