The billion-pound 2023 opening at Hyde Park Corner, Brooklands by Claude Bosi on the roof, and the most architecturally serious new hotel in W1 in decades.
The Peninsula London opened in September 2023 as the most expensive hotel ever built in the city, a billion-pound, ground-up Hopkins Architects building on the corner of Grosvenor Place and Hyde Park Corner, looking straight at the Wellington Arch. 190 rooms, 24 residences, a real spa, and the rooftop Brooklands by Claude Bosi which collected two Michelin stars within four months. After two and a half years of operation the Peninsula service standard has settled in; this is the new-money alternative to the Maybourne triad, bigger rooms, bigger bath, bigger view, less folklore.
Book a Park Suite or higher facing Wellington Arch, the south-facing rooms are the room product the building was designed for. Brooklands needs to be booked weeks ahead; the Lobby afternoon tea is the easier reservation if Claridge's is full. Largest standard rooms in the postcode at around 50 sqm.
