The Peninsula London debuts in Belgravia

The Peninsula has recently announced that its new hotel, The Peninsula London, is now accepting reservations for stays from 12 September 2023.  

With architecture conceived to gracefully harmonise with the heritage buildings of Belgravia, The Peninsula London embodies a spacious aesthetic that floods its Peter Marino-designed interiors with natural light. 

The hotel centres around an expansive, off-street courtyard, landscaped in the style of a classic English garden with ivy, wisteria vines, and 120-year-old Japanese maples allowing for an easy off-street arrival along with valet parking and underground garage. 

The Peninsula London’s 190 luxurious guest rooms and suites feature bespoke furnishings, textiles, and artworks that evoke the feel of chic private residences. All include mahogany dressing rooms, bathrooms of honey onyx, and customised fittings. Many have floor-to ceiling-windows with unparalleled views over Wellington Arch and historic Belgravia.  

The hotel also offers numerous special-event venues opening later this year, which include St. George Ballroom and other gathering spaces ranging from conference rooms to an intimate private cinema, all equipped with state-of-the-art technology. 

The hotel’s signature rooftop restaurant, Brooklands, offers Modern British cuisine from Michelin-starred chef director Claude Bosi, as well as top-flight libations, a tasting lounge and cigar storage. 

At Canton Blue and its adjacent bar, Little Blue, innovative Chinese cuisine, cocktails, teas, and exotic décor celebrate the spice-trade union of Asian and British cultures. And at The Lobby, traditional Peninsula Afternoon Tea and globally inspired fare are served beneath soaring ceilings, and often accompanied by live music.

A diverse array of relaxation and well-being choices are also available to guests, including an extensive menu of mind-body therapies at the hotel’s spa and wellness centre, exercise classes and workshops offered at the fitness centre, and swimming in a 25-m indoor swimming pool.

Clement Kwok, managing director and CEO of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited, owner and operator of The Peninsula, said: “We are delighted to launch The Peninsula London, which is the culmination of decades of looking for the most exceptional location in London. We believe that the investment we have made into this project, the dedication of our people and the project teams we have worked with, and the quality and the attention to detail that we have strived for, will make this a unique hotel that we believe will stand out not only in London but globally, and will be one of the most important hotels in our group for generations to come.

“It is always an important ingredient of The Peninsula that the hotel has been designed and planned not only to service international guests but that it will also become an integral part of the local community. We are very excited to welcome local residents and international visitors to experience this exceptional property and to enjoy The Peninsula’s sophisticated hospitality and service in one of the world’s most dynamic cities.”
