The Berkeley, London

Tucked into the elegant streets of Knightsbridge, moments from Hyde Park and Harrods, The Berkeley redefines London luxury with quiet confidence and flawless taste. 

With just 180 rooms and suites, it marries classic British charm with modern opulence—sunlight over marble terraces, champagne breakfasts by the rooftop pool, and service that feels as personal as it is polished.

Step inside and the rhythm of the city fades. Soft palettes, modern art, and couture details by designers like André Fu and Robert Angell create a world of calm sophistication

What Makes It Special

• Prestigious Knightsbridge location, between Hyde Park and Sloane Street.
• Home to the famed Blue Bar, a London institution designed by David Collins.
• Marcus, the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, is led by celebrated chef Marcus Wareing.
• The Berkeley Rooftop Pool, one of London’s most beautiful open-air pools, is heated year-round.
• Fashion-themed afternoon tea—Prêt-à-Portea—inspired by the latest catwalk collections.
• Interiors blending classic craftsmanship with contemporary couture design.

A Day at The Berkeley

Morning

Start your day with a leisurely swim in the rooftop pool, mist rising over the city skyline. Enjoy a breakfast of fresh pastries and London honey on your private terrace before wandering through Hyde Park, just steps away.

Afternoon

Return for Prêt-à-Portea, where cakes take the shape of couture gowns and handbags. Relax in the Collins Room; its soft light and pale hues made for unhurried elegance.

Evening

Savor a dinner at Marcus, where British flavors meet Michelin precision. Later, sip a sapphire cocktail at the Blue Bar, surrounded by cobalt velvet and the murmur of London’s elite.

Night

Retire to your suite—silk, marble, and soft light wrapping the room in quiet luxury. Through your window, the city glows—Harrods, Belgravia, and the rooftops of Knightsbridge whispering goodnight.
