When it comes to booking a city break, London has no shortage of places to stay – and particularly luxury hotels, with old-world charm and new-world service. Traditionally, the capital’s luxury hotels were clustered in the upmarket enclaves of Kensington, Knightsbridge and Chelsea, with ample high-end shopping opportunities on the doorstep. As the notion of luxury evolves, that’s all changing with a new breed of design-centric luxury hotels popping up in the city’s trendiest neighbourhoods. Travel in London is an eclectic experience, and overnight stays are a treat to indulge in whether you live locally or are stopping by from further afield. We’ve rounded up a luxe selection of the best fancy accommodation across different parts of the capital. Wherever you want to lay your head, one thing’s for sure: these hotels have impeccable service, out-of-this-world food and the comfiest bedrooms in all of London.
