The Berkeley
The Berkeley combines design-led rooms, private terraces, a rare rooftop pool and one of London’s most inventive dining scenes in a discreet Knightsbridge setting.
The Berkeley sits on Wilton Place between Knightsbridge and Belgravia, close to Hyde Park yet slightly removed from the heavier foot traffic around Harrods and Sloane Street.
The hotel has evolved into one of London’s more design-focused luxury properties, with rooms and suites shaped by leading contemporary designers rather than a single historic aesthetic. Several top categories include unusually generous private terraces.
Its rooftop pool is a rare amenity in central London, offering views across Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Hyde Park and giving the hotel a genuine warm-weather resort element.
Dining is another defining strength, from La Môme London and The Berkeley Bar & Terrace to Cedric Grolet’s patisserie and the hotel’s playful approach to afternoon tea.
The Berkeley is best for travelers who want Maybourne-level service with a lighter, more contemporary personality than London’s traditional palace hotels.
