The Berkeley
No wonder all sorts of people just opt to move in. Lawrence of Arabia director David Lean lived here, as did London it-girl Tara Palmer-Tomkinson. Rooms are old fashioned in the English country style — chaise longues, canopied beds and mahogany chests of drawers. They are spacious and enormously comfortable. Tea at the Berkeley is certainly not London’s most famous, but it is well loved by a small crowd in the know. It is intimate, and at times unusual, as when the chef, inspired by the Chelsea Flower Show, served lavender brulée alongside sloe gin scones.
Though the building that it currently occupies was only built in the 1970s, the Berkeley has existed in some form since the eighteenth century. And for a long time the Berkeley did not feel the urge to move with the times. Its clientele had never been an aesthetically demanding one.
This, however, has changed. Take the Art Deco-style Blue Bar (part of the old Berkeley hotel, and quite literally lifted and dropped bang in the middle of the present one), and the phenomenal rooftop pool, both of which Madonna, it has been said, adores. And then there’s the spa. It’s unusual for a hotel like the Berkeley to opt for cutting-edge treatments, but the Berkeley Health Club and Spa is state-of-the-art.

Its a great location and the people always make you feel welcome and comfortable - having a kettle and Dyson dryer in the room is a nice touch and its always a great place to come home to

Everything about the The Berkeley is top notch. I always start and end a trip with a stay at the The Berkeley as I know I will have a fantastic time. Blue Bar has been my go to for decades, the pool is one of the best, location is prime. Of course the service is 10+, that goes without saying. Have a 8 month old, came in from a weekend in Paris and the baby package was fantastic, same crib he has, and the baby amenities were on point.

High water pressure in the showers, soft towels and lovely staff

The rooms were really big and we had a lot of space and comfort
