The best luxury hotels in London for world-class spas and fine dining with a view

Claridge’s restaurant serves a refined British menu - (Maybourne)

If you want an opulent weekend break in the capital, there’s no end of hotels vying for your attention. From storied addresses to sleek new-builds, London’s five-star hotel scene continues to evolve at a dizzying pace, jostling to redefine new standards of luxury.

Some properties are heritage icons with decades of history behind them, while others are strikingly modern. What they all share in common is a dedication to top-tier service and all of the frills you’d expect from a gleaming, five-star stay: think world-class spas, state-of-the-art fitness centres, high-octane design, and some of the city’s most refined dining options. Exclusive amenities designed with well-travelled guests in mind are standard at most, as the definition of luxury – and what guests expect from a truly showstopping stay – continues to evolve.
