The Lanesborough sits in the old St George's Hospital building at Hyde Park Corner, opposite Apsley House, a Regency mansion that since 1991 has been a hotel, since 2015 an Oetker Collection house, and since 2024 carrying a Travel + Leisure top-of-list ranking for London. 93 rooms, all with 24-hour butler, a Lanesborough Club & Spa that runs as a separate London membership address, and Céleste with its blue-and-white domed dining room under the cupola. The most overtly traditional of the London grandes dames currently in good form, for the audience that wants Empire-furniture grandeur without the Connaught crowd.

Editor's Tip

Book a Royal Suite or Garden Room, the standard rooms are smaller than the price suggests. The butler service is genuinely the unlock; ask them to handle the dinner reservations from the room rather than fighting the concierge. Céleste afternoon tea under the cupola is the better booking than dinner in the same room.
