At a glance
The Peninsula London sets a new benchmark for luxury hotels in Belgravia, where Peter Marino’s architectural vision meets Michelin-starred dining and one of the capital’s most coveted addresses.
The Peninsula London is a newly built 5-star luxury hotel at 1 Grosvenor Place, Belgravia, steps from Hyde Park Corner, Wellington Arch, and Kensington Gardens.
Peter Marino’s 190 rooms and suites harmonise with the surrounding heritage architecture while delivering contemporary elegance at the highest level, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing some of London’s most iconic views.
Dining spans six spaces, anchored by Michelin-starred Brooklands by Claude Bosi on the top floor and The Lobby’s signature Peninsula Afternoon Tea beneath hand-painted de Gournay murals. Canton Blue, Little Blue Noodle Bar, Brooklands Bar, and The Tasting Room complete one of the most considered hotel dining offers in the capital.

Accommodation
Deluxe Room
The entry point at The Peninsula London, set on the first to seventh floors with views over the hotel’s classically landscaped English courtyard. Interiors combine refined contemporary furnishings with Savile Row-inspired dressing areas, onyx bathroom finishes, and a separate shower, bathtub, and toilet cubicle. Digital bedside panels pre-set in one of seven languages and LED touch-screen wall controls put every room function at the fingertips.
Premier Terrace Room
Set on the sixth and seventh floors with sliding glass doors opening onto a private terrace, these rooms offer exceptional vantage points over the historic architecture of Grosvenor Crescent and Belgravia. Hand-tufted carpets, richly coloured fabrics, polished wood fittings, and onyx-clad baths set the tone, with the terrace adding a genuine point of difference within the room category.
Premier Terrace Suite
Among the largest accommodations at the upper end of the standard suite range, with glass sliding doors onto private terraces overlooking Belgravia’s heritage mansions. Savile Row-style wood-panelled dressing chambers, onyx bathrooms, and a separate living room distinguish these suites from the room categories below. Inclusions cover a Heathrow return transfer, pressing service, and complimentary minibar.
The Peninsula Suite
The most palatial accommodation in London, with a sweeping private terrace overlooking Hyde Park Corner, a formal dining room, a living room with fireplace and baby grand piano, his-and-hers closets, a private gym, a dedicated VIP lift, and a 13-seat screening room. When connected with up to seven adjoining rooms, the suite can extend to nearly 1,300 square meters, making it the largest private accommodation available in the capital.

Dining
Dining at The Peninsula London spans six distinct venues. Brooklands by Claude Bosi is the flagship, a two Michelin star rooftop restaurant serving modern British cuisine in a space that pays homage to the classic eras of British aviation and motorsport. The Lobby handles all-day international dining beneath de Gournay murals, alongside the signature Peninsula Afternoon Tea. Canton Blue offers modern Cantonese cuisine in a setting referencing the historic maritime trade routes between China and England. Little Blue Noodle Bar is a more casual East-meets-West outpost on Grosvenor Crescent, serving noodles and late-night takeaways. Brooklands Bar and The Tasting Room complete the offer for drinks and more intimate dining experiences.
Wellness
The Peninsula Spa and Wellness Centre occupies the lower two floors of the hotel, offering a broad menu of ancient and modern therapies for wellbeing and beauty, open daily from 7am to 9pm. The centrepiece is a 25-metre swimming pool set within a subterranean chamber, its walls covered in intricate mosaic artwork and its overhead lighting panels cycling through the day to simulate natural sunlight. A 24-hour fitness centre with cardio and resistance equipment sits alongside the spa facilities. Guests also have access to a dedicated Wellness Portal offering guided meditations, aromatherapy rituals, and in-room fitness equipment and exercise videos around the clock.
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom sits off the northwest coast of continental Europe, comprising England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. London serves as the capital and functions as one of the world’s great international hubs, with direct flights from North America, Asia, Africa, and Australia making it one of the most accessible long-haul destinations on the planet. England is the largest of the four nations and the most visited.
Our Experts
The UK is home to not one, but four magical countries. Many tourists choose to combine a couple into one trip, perhaps Wales and Scotland.
London is one of my favourite destinations and can so easily be combined with the equally chic city of Paris into one twin-city trip.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

World War II Tour of Europe: London, Normandy, Berlin & Krakow

Four stops, each one a different piece of how the war was run, fought, caused, and ultimately answered for.

Luxury English Country House Tour for LGBTQ+ Travellers
Tailor-made HolidayThe English country house is one of the great inventions of British civilisation. For three centuries these estates shaped the landscape, defined a way of life, and played host to the kind of private world that rarely made it into the history books. What did make it in tells a more interesting story than the official version suggests.

LGBTQ+ Theatre Trip to London: West End Shows, Soho & Stratford
Tailor-made HolidayNo country on earth does theatre quite like the United Kingdom. From the West End stages that have shaped global popular culture to the small, radical fringe venues where the next generation of writers and performers are redefining what theatre can be, Britain's relationship with live performance runs deeper than anywhere else. It is the country that gave the world Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
