Hyde Park-side luxury-hotel axis — Pétrus, Marcus, Zuma
Knightsbridge and Belgravia together cover the SW1 + SW7 wedge between Hyde Park and Sloane Square — the chapter's diplomatic-and-luxury-hotel axis. The rooms that earn the slot are mostly hotel-led (The Berkeley's Marcus Wareing, Mountstreet-orbit Mount Street Restaurant, Apsleys at the Lanesborough, Pétrus, Ametsa) plus the Knightsbridge sushi cluster (Zuma, Park Chinois). The gezgin uses the hood for the hotel-with-a-spa weekend rather than the Mayfair lunch.
