Situated near Mayfair, just a stone’s throw from Bond Street, this classy hotel was formally an exclusive gentlemen’s club and guests are still made to feel part of the elite by the welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Rooms are comfortable and inviting; some have the added bonus of an outside terrace with seating.

If you can stretch your purse strings just a little, the Westminster Suite is worth the extra: located on the 7th floor, this spacious suite can only be reached by inserting a special key into the lift’s control panel and has a terrace large enough for a party of fifty!

The hand-stitched mattress is deliciously comfortable and the black marble bathroom hosts a large jacuzzi bath and shower that double as a steam room. LOccitane products are included.

If you’re feeling peckish, restaurant Seven Park Place, headed up by Michelin-starred Executive Chef William Drabble, offers some deliciously mouth-watering dishes. Breakfast and a good selection of all-day snacks can be taken in your room or in the bistro-style restaurant, or if you fancy getting out and about, there are plenty of dining options just a short stroll from the hotel.
