Our Inspector's Highlights
- The Five-Star hotel is convenient to Harrods and Harvey Nichols, as well as other high-end stores, so guests can and should take advantage of London’s premier shopping.
- If you arrive before regular check-in time, you’ll be whisked upstairs to the top floor of the luxury London hotel, where you can enjoy an espresso, pastries, log onto the Internet and even shower and change at your own leisure.
- We love this distinctive lacquered grand piano, painted a shocking coral red color and positioned just outside Amaranto Lounge. Visit the hotel in the evening to hear live music as you sip on a cocktail.
- Forget the omelets, and make hot chocolate a breakfast standby. Amaranto offers four varieties of Tonino Lamborghini Cioccolata, including classic, hazelnut, white and mint.
- Many of the rooms at the Five-Star Four Seasons are appointed with small private balconies, allowing you to take in the view of the London Eye, Big Ben and the treetops of Green Park al fresco.
Things to Know
- Take your time sauntering to your room — each corridor is lined with a lovely series of black-and-white glamour portraits of Golden Age Hollywood starlets.
- The Five-Star hotel stands roughly even in height with its surrounding neighbors, so ask for a room on the eighth or ninth floor facing Big Ben and the Thames to ensure you have a great view.
- Unless you’re planning to use the vitality pool in the spa, you won’t find a pool at the luxury hotel.
