The Hari
London, United KingdomMap
Thompson Hotels, after planting its fashionable flag throughout North America, decided it was time to bring its lifestyle brand of hospitality to Europe. The result is the Belgraves, situated in London’s posh Belgravia neighborhood. Designed by locally-based Tara Bernerd, the property is set in a former Sheraton. After a $30 million overhaul, the hotel now has a dark, masculine feel, with leather headboards and purple velvet sofas in the 85-rooms. In contrast, the crisp white bathrooms—some...

The London EDITION
London, United KingdomMap
At hotelier Ian Schrager’s buzzy, 173-room property, designed by Toronto- and New York–based Yabu Pushelberg, the public spaces attract locals as much as guests. It’s easy to see why. Built into a collection of 19th-century Georgian townhouses, the design team preserved stunning details like marble columns and stained-glass windows, and juxtaposed them with modern flourishes, including an Ingo Maurer–designed stainless-steel light fixture in the lobby bar. The oak-paneled Punch Room...

The London NYC
New York CityMap
The London NYC first catapulted to fame as the home of provocative British chef Gordon Ramsay’s Maze. Although the restaurant has now shuttered, the 561-room hotel remains a swish Midtown reprieve. The lobby in particular impresses, thoughtfully laid out in travertine stone and graced by a hand-stitched silk map of New York landmark Central Park. The suites are all soothing, featuring warm blues and neutral hues buoyed by commodious desks, Italian cotton linens and hand-woven throws. In the...

The Mandrake
London, United KingdomMap
A long, dark entrance tunnel pumping out shamanic mixes by French sound engineer Pierre-Arnaud Alunni is merely the second hint you’ve arrived to an unorthodox place. The first, of course, being the hotel’s name: Mandrake, a hallucinogenic Mediterranean plant. One has to wonder if Beirut-born owner Rami Fustok took a few nibbles of it before conceptualizing this multisensory 34-room stay in London’s Fitzrovia neighborhood. Tapping into his inner Guillermo del Toro, Fustok teamed up...

The May Fair
London, United KingdomMap
London’s Mayfair neighborhood is known for stately, neoclassical architecture. Elegant shops and upmarket restaurants line the streets, maintaining the area’s regal appearance. From the exterior, The May Fair Hotel fits that mold. The entrance is adorned with royal flags and an antique wroughtiron awning, preserved from the original 1927 building. Inside, an aristocratic aesthetic—colorful, maximalist, and ornate—is streamlined to fit modern tastes. Among the property’s 400...

The Pelham
London, United KingdomMap
This Kit Kemp-designed boutique hotel in the heart of South Kensington, one of London’s most affluent neighborhoods, does not fit neatly into any stylistic category: it’s as if The Pelham London couldn’t decide whether to become a posh, urban townhouse or a cozy country estate, so it decided to be both. The reception area has the feel of a sylvan drawing room, with rich floor-to-ceiling wood paneling, snug furniture, a green marble fireplace and Georgian-era portraits, while the adjacent...

The Soho Hotel is the ultimate jumping-off-point for exploring London’s luxurious West End. All 96 guest rooms are spacious and light, individually styled in the classic-country-house, offbeat—notice that cat sculpture by the Colombian artist Fernando Botero?—sensibility of designer Kip Kemp. The rooms have floor-to-ceiling, warehouse-style windows and modern amenities, including polished-marble bathrooms with freestanding tubs and double basins, king-size beds with colorful, graphic...

The Wellesley
London, United KingdomMap
In upscale Knightsbridge, British designer Fox Linton revamped this 1920s Art Deco townhouse overlooking Hyde Park into a bastion of Old World glamour. The spirit of the building’s past life as Pizza on the Park at Hyde Park Corner, a music venue that hosted shows by jazz stars like Jamie Cullum and Amy Winehouse, lives on in the lounge that puts on live performances. At the cigar terrace, an imposing painting of Winston Churchill resides over black leather Chesterfield sofas, while a heated...
