Hotel facts

Standing at Hyde Park Corner between Knightsbridge and Belgravia, The Lanesborough is one of London’s great Regency landmarks and one of its most traditional luxury hotels. Behind the neoclassical façade are 93 individually designed rooms and suites, dedicated 24-hour butler service for every guest, modern British dining, legendary bars and one of the capital’s most substantial private health clubs and spas.

The Lanesborough

  • The landmark building was originally designed by William Wilkins in the Greek Revival style and opened as The Lanesborough hotel in 1991, before undergoing an extensive renovation led by interior designer Alberto Pinto and reopening in its current form in 2015.

Rooms & Suites

  • The hotel offers 93 individually designed rooms and suites, combining elaborate Regency interiors, fine fabrics and handcrafted furniture with discreet contemporary technology.

Deluxe Room

  • At approximately 26 m², Deluxe Rooms include an entrance foyer, seating area and marble bathroom, with views towards Belgravia or the hotel courtyard.

Park View Deluxe Room

  • Measuring up to approximately 24 m², Park View Deluxe Rooms exchange the quieter courtyard outlook for views towards Hyde Park or Wellington Arch.

Premier Room

  • At up to 38 m², Premier Rooms provide considerably more space with elegant Regency interiors, a generous seating area and views towards Belgravia or the courtyard.

Junior Suite

  • Junior Suites offer up to approximately 45 m² with a comfortable sitting area and marble bathroom featuring both a bathtub and walk-in shower.

Hyde Park Corner Suite

  • At up to 52 m², Hyde Park Corner Suites add a separate living room and exceptional views across both Hyde Park and Wellington Arch.

St James Suite

  • The 68 m² St James Suite features a mahogany-lined entrance hall, separate living room, super king-size bedroom and direct views of Wellington Arch.

Buckingham Suite

  • At approximately 71 m², Buckingham Suites combine a grand living and dining room with hand-stencilled wood panelling and views towards Wellington Arch, with the possibility of creating larger multi-bedroom configurations.

Presidential Suite

  • Extending to approximately 363 m² when reserved in its full five-bedroom configuration, the Presidential Suite includes a grand living room, private kitchen and furnished terrace overlooking Wellington Arch.

Royal Suite

  • The approximately 450 m² Royal Suite can expand to seven bedrooms and includes two living rooms, a dining room for twelve, private kitchen and dedicated butler service, creating one of London’s most substantial hotel residences.

24-Hour Butler Service

  • Every room and suite receives dedicated butler service around the clock, a signature of The Lanesborough and a level of service the hotel states is unique among London hotels.

The Lanesborough Grill

  • Executive Chef Shay Cooper leads the hotel’s flagship restaurant, serving modern British cuisine built around seasonal produce from across the country.

British Classics

  • The menu combines contemporary cooking with recognisable British dishes including Beef Wellington, Dover Sole and Coronation Crab Salad, with selected dishes finished tableside.

Afternoon Tea

  • Afternoon tea remains one of The Lanesborough’s signature rituals, served beneath the glass dome and chandeliers of the main dining room in suitably grand Regency surroundings.

The Library Bar

  • The Library Bar combines the atmosphere of a private London club with serious cocktails and an extraordinary collection of spirits, including rare Cognacs dating back to the 18th century.

The Garden Room

  • The covered and heated Garden Room terrace houses an extensive walk-in humidor of Cuban and pre-Castro cigars alongside rare Cognacs, Armagnacs, Champagne and cocktails.

The Lanesborough Paradis

  • The Garden Room’s remarkable spirit collection includes some of the world’s rarest Cognacs and Armagnacs, with bottles dating back to the 18th century.

The Withdrawing Room

  • Overlooking Wellington Arch, the elegant Withdrawing Room provides a quieter setting for lunch, afternoon drinks or informal meetings away from the busier restaurant and bars.

The Lanesborough Club & Spa

  • Hotel guests receive complimentary access to the private members’ Club & Spa, combining extensive fitness facilities, treatments and thermal areas in one of London’s most exclusive wellness environments.

Hydrotherapy Pool

  • The spa centres around a hydrotherapy pool designed for relaxation and recovery rather than conventional lap swimming.

Thermal Facilities

Fitness

Two MICHELIN Keys

  • The Lanesborough holds Two MICHELIN Keys in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide hotel selection, placing it among London’s most highly recognised luxury hotels.

Location

  • The Lanesborough occupies one of London’s most privileged positions at Hyde Park Corner, directly overlooking Hyde Park and Wellington Arch, with Knightsbridge, Sloane Street, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Belgravia and Buckingham Palace all within easy walking distance.

What we love

The Butler Service

  • Having a dedicated butler around the clock in every single room rather than only the top suites is still one of The Lanesborough’s defining luxuries.

Hyde Park Corner

  • Few London hotel locations make quite the same entrance. Hyde Park is opposite, Wellington Arch is almost outside the door and Knightsbridge and Belgravia begin on either side.

The Library Bar

  • Rare Cognac, proper cocktails, books, live music and the atmosphere of an old private club make this one of those hotel bars where leaving for somewhere else feels unnecessary.

The Garden Room

  • A heated terrace, enormous walk-in humidor and Cognacs dating back centuries make this one of London’s great cigar rooms rather than simply a smoking terrace.

The Royal Suite

  • Seven bedrooms and around 450 m² in this part of London is extraordinary, but the two living rooms, private kitchen and dining room for twelve are what make it function like a genuine private residence.

The Presidential Terrace

  • Private outdoor space overlooking Wellington Arch is rare enough in London; having it attached to a five-bedroom Regency residence makes it exceptional.

The Lanesborough Grill

  • We prefer the current direction to the old formal fine-dining model. Shay Cooper’s modern British menu feels appropriate to the building and makes the restaurant somewhere you can actually return to during a stay.

The Club & Spa

  • The spa is not an afterthought added to a grand hotel. It operates as a serious private members’ health club in its own right, giving hotel guests access to far more than a few treatment rooms.

The Family Service

  • Little Butler experiences, treats delivered by your butler, family activities and dedicated pool hours make one of London’s grandest hotels unexpectedly easy with children.

The Regency Character

  • The interiors are unapologetically elaborate. Silk, mahogany, chandeliers and hand-painted detailing could only really work in a building like this, and The Lanesborough commits to it completely.

The Balance

  • Old-school British grandeur, genuinely exceptional service, serious bars and modern wellness make The Lanesborough feel traditional without becoming stuck in the past.
