Located at the corner of Hyde Park, The Peninsula London officially opened its doors late last year.

Its rooftop restaurant, Brooklands by Claude Bosi, achieved the distinguished honour of gaining two Michelin stars within just four months of opening.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh honoured the official opening ceremony by unveiling a commemorative plaque marking the culmination of the project, which has been nearly 40 years in the making.

The night featured energetic Chinese Lion Dancing, music from the London Philharmonic Orchestra, a roster of nine live bands and renowned DJs, and a courtyard filled with gourmet food trucks and priceless vintage cars.

Ideally situated in the heart of Belgravia with views over Hyde Park Corner and Wellington Arch, The Peninsula London occupies one of the city’s most prestigious addresses.

The newly built hotel, designed to harmonise with surrounding heritage buildings, is just moments away from the city’s most iconic attractions, including three Royal Parks, Buckingham Palace, Harrods and Big Ben.

The property features 190 guest rooms and suites designed by Peter Marino, several world-class restaurants and bars, the Peninsula Spa and a luxury retail arcade.

Peninsula hotels now feature in major cities across the world, including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, New York, Chicago, Beverly Hills, Paris, Istanbul, Bangkok and Manila.
