London is home to plenty of elite luxury hotels, which makes naming the very best a tough call.

LTI's researchers dug deep into London's luxury hotel scene to bring you a collection of the finest places to stay.

Here's our pick of eight outstanding hotels, each with its own size, style and location, yet all operating at an exceptional level.

## The Goring

Since it opened in 1910, London's oldest family-run hotel has been overseen by four generations of the Goring dynasty.

The historic interiors were given a fresh, contemporary update by well-known designer friends of current owner Jeremy Goring: David Linley, Nina Campbell, Tim Gosling and Russell Sage.

The reception desks resemble stately Georgian furniture, Gainsborough gold silk dresses the windows, and the walls are covered in hand-painted silver-foil wallpaper by Fromental. The result is refined yet still evokes an English country house.

The hotel's world-class service has earned recognition time and again, and in 2013 it was granted a Royal Warrant for hospitality services to Queen Elizabeth.

The rooms are smaller than at many of London's top hotels, and there's no lavish spa, but this quality address stands out for its beautiful interiors, quintessential British elegance, excellent food, first-class service and the second-largest private garden in London (after Buckingham Palace).

There are 12 interconnecting rooms, perfect for families, and children receive an "Eyes Only" welcome pack with crayons, colouring books and a Goring passport.

From $797 per night

## The Beaumont

This 1926 building, once a garage, has been transformed into one of London's most sought-after hotels.

LTI named it the "best luxury hotel in the world" in 2014, and the Beaumont keeps on impressing.

Created by restaurateurs Chris Corbin and Jeremy King (their first hotel after a run of hugely popular restaurants), it's a symphony of 1920s glamour, classic style and comfort.

The bold interiors of this listed historic building are said to follow a "stripped-back neoclassical style," but the grand art deco spaces create a real sense of drama, echoing the building's history and a bygone era. We also love its quiet yet central setting in Mayfair.

The Beaumont has several interconnecting rooms, ideal for families, and babysitting is available on request.

Its art collection, personal service, elegant rooms and popular restaurant make it a firm favourite of ours in London.

The staff-to-guest ratio is impressive too, at 2.5 employees per person, along with a 24-hour concierge to make sure guests' needs are met around the clock.

## Bulgari

The grandeur of the Bulgari hotel reflects the heritage and luxury of the famous Italian jeweller and silversmith.

Just a few minutes from Hyde Park, this hotel in glamorous Knightsbridge boasts some of the largest rooms in the capital.

It's super-chic, thoroughly modern (the building was constructed from scratch) and huge, with six floors below ground and nine above.

It feels vast, yet there are only 85 rooms and suites spread across those six floors, which tells you just how spacious they are.

Designed by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners, the interiors are contemporary yet still reflect London; Portland stone and bronze, for instance, were used for the carefully considered facade and doors.

There are plenty of child-friendly interconnecting rooms and lots to keep kids entertained: a pool, a cinema, a PlayStation, an Xbox and a wealth of games. The concierge or your butler can also arrange day trips, babysitting and anything else you might need.

Other amenities include the Bulgari Spa, set across two floors deep underground and offering a wide range of beauty, wellness and spa treatments.

The hotel bar, Il Bar, serves a huge selection of cocktails and champagne from a striking oval steel bar.

## Corinthia

![](https://test.langandtrip.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/de_import_uploads/june-article-image-247-4-2025.jpg)

This magnificent 1885 building has been restored and reborn as a 21st-century grand hotel by Corinthia Hotels.

Today it looks modern and unashamedly luxurious, yet touches of the grand Victorian building are still clear to see, especially in the public spaces and restaurants.

The hotel's rooms and suites are spacious and understated but stylish; and its seven penthouses (based on characters found in London, such as the "Royal," the "Musician" or the "Actor") are superb.

Alongside several top-tier restaurants and bars, the hotel is also home to ESPA Life, London's largest spa.

There's an in-house florist called By Appointment Only and a Harrods outpost, and guests staying in a penthouse enjoy a complimentary chauffeur-driven car service.

The hotel's main bar, Bassoon, is a theatrical, atmospheric spot for a drink, with a Roland grand piano that merges into an 11-metre bar counter adorned with jazz-inspired art.

Corinthia, Whitehall Pl, Westminster, London SW1A 2BD; +44 20 7930 8181

From $1028 per night

## Claridge's

![](https://test.langandtrip.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/de_import_uploads/june-article-image-247-5-2025.jpg)

With its stunning design, elegance and perfect location, Claridge's is in a class of its own.

It offers a wide choice of beautiful rooms and suites, mostly created by renowned designers such as David Linley, Guy Oliver and Diane von Furstenberg.

Every room is unique: some art deco, some quirky, some traditional, and all fitted with the latest technology.

The gorgeous interiors reflect its heritage, embracing the bold lines and curves of the 1920s.

Its public spaces are just as striking: the lobby, two excellent restaurants and two stylish bars are steeped in history yet given a contemporary feel.

The grand lobby captures the story of Claridge's, with gilded mirrors, crystal chandeliers, elegant arches and columns, black-and-white chequerboard floors and richly hued leather furniture.

Families are warmly welcomed at Claridge's, and there's even a dedicated children's concierge.

Just like the grown-ups, children can order their favourite magazine and receive gift sets on arrival and mini bathrobes at bedtime.

You can also expect service of the very highest standard here; the staff are ready to meet any request.

Claridge's, Brook Street, Mayfair, London W1K 4HR; + 44 20 7629 8860

From $1265 per night

## Chiltern Firehouse

![](https://test.langandtrip.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/de_import_uploads/june-article-image-247-6-2025.jpg)

American hotelier Andre Balazs, the man behind the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, is also the driving force at Chiltern Firehouse.

We're including this hotel because it occupies a unique and special place; we think of it as an endless, exclusive house party.

The building itself is a charming old fire station, Grade 2 listed, that has been rebuilt with a walled garden.

Although it doesn't have all the usual luxuries (such as a gym, spa, pool, several restaurants and a lobby), as a hotel guest you get automatic entry to a buzzing scene that's otherwise practically impossible to access.

The rooms are charming, cosy and very comfortable (all with working fireplaces). The hotel itself is family-friendly and children are welcome, though it's mostly adults who stay here.

The staff are extremely attentive, and their eye-catching outfits add a touch of old-fashioned glamour.

Our favourite place to unwind here is the lantern-lit courtyard, or the wonderful Ladder Shed bar.

The courtyard terrace closes at 9pm, so be sure to come for early drinks while you can.

## Rosewood

![](https://test.langandtrip.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/de_import_uploads/june-article-image-247-7-2025.jpg)

Housed in a beautiful Belle Epoque building, its grand facade, wrought-iron gates and inner courtyard make you feel as though you've stepped back in time.

Set in High Holborn, the Rosewood is within walking distance of many of the city's major sights.

From the outside the building is striking, with an elegant courtyard once meant for horse-drawn carriages and a dome standing 166 feet tall.

Designed by Tony Chi &amp; Associates, its decor is quintessentially British but unconventional, even whimsical, though many of the original listed features (the Grand Staircase in Pavonazzo marble and the 166-foot dome, for example) remain untouched.

You can expect excellent food and drink in the restaurants and bar, which are destinations in their own right, as well as a superb spa and fitness centre. The Rosewood staff are welcoming, and although it's a large hotel, it feels boutique and personal.

As for children's activities, there are Rose Buds music, art, nature or cooking classes on offer, and the concierge can arrange trips to London Zoo, Hamleys and the London Dungeon.

From $744 per night

## The Wellesley

![](https://test.langandtrip.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/de_import_uploads/june-article-image-247-8-2025.jpg)

Now one of London's most fashionable and lesser-known luxury retreats, this understated, stylish hotel in Knightsbridge began life as Hyde Park Corner station, designed by English architect Leslie Green.

The rooms aren't especially large, but this is a wonderful place to stay if you want to keep a low profile or are simply after a stylish luxury boutique hotel in the capital.

Billing itself as "London's first boutique grand hotel," we love its refined art deco glamour and excellent service.

Add to that the good food, a lively jazz lounge, a chic bar serving claret, whisky, champagne and cigars from the hotel's own humidor, and it becomes clear why The Wellesley made our list.

Its small colonnaded lobby is gorgeous, decorated with bespoke crystal chandeliers, mirrored panels, gleaming stone floors and striking bronze doors.

The hotel welcomes children, and families should book either The Wellesley Penthouse, which has four interconnecting rooms, or one of the two-bedroom suites. A PlayStation, mini bathrobes and children's slippers are available on request.

The Wellesley, 11 Knightsbridge, Belgravia, London SW1X 7LY; +44 20 7235 3535

From $750 per night

## Our verdict

For a classic English experience, Claridge's is our top choice (with The Goring following close behind).

If you're after a larger, international-style hotel with a full range of services, then we'd suggest the Corinthia or the Rosewood.

For large apartments, go for the Bulgari. And if you're looking for a more boutique feel, then the Chiltern Firehouse, The Beaumont or The Wellesley won't disappoint.
