With the amount of money flowing in and out of London every day, itโs no wonder hotels in the city have upped their game in recent years to cater for the super-wealthy clientele that is flooding London at an unprecedented rate. Here are five of the most opulent, ostentatious, over-the-top hotel rooms London has to offer.
Penthouse Suite at The Wellesley
Spread over the top two floors of the stunning Wellesley Hotel, this suite houses its own humidor, is stocked with Hermes toiletries, and is booked only three times a month. At ยฃ11,500 (A$21,000) for every nightโs stay, it seems fair you have a complimentary Rolls-Royce chauffeur service thrown in.
Royal Suite at The Intercontinental Park Lane
Living up to its name, this room pays homage to its namesake (the hotel sits on the Queenโs childhood home) with Cecil Beatonโs portraits of the Queenโs corgis and horses. At just ยฃ12,000 (A$22,500) a night for up to 10 guests, itโd be rude not to stay here on a visit to Britainโs capital.
Opus Suite at The Berkeley
Designed by Hong Kong-based architect Andrรฉ Fu, the two-bed Opus Suite occupies an area that previously housed five normal rooms and a suite. Offering 270-degree views of Hyde Park, the suite is located in a prime Knightsbridge location and offers a very oriental London experience at a positively affordable ยฃ10,000 (A$19,000) a night.
Manor House Suite at The Rosewood
The only hotel room in the world with its own postcode (the hotel keeps the exact postcode under wraps), this six-bedroom mega-suite starts at ยฃ8,900 (A$16,500) a night and gets you a private entrance to the hotel with a personal concierge that โcan open any door in Londonโ.
Corinthia London โ Royal Penthouse Suite
Starting at just ยฃ18,000 (A$34,000) a night, The Royal Penthouse Suite at the Corinthia London is arguably the most decadent (and tasteful in our opinion) of the four. The two-floor suite comes with a slew of amenities including (but not limited to), a 24-hour butler, a 24-hour private chauffeur, a private spa suite, a walk-in wine cellar, and a dedicated seamstress for alterations to the clothing you wonโt be able to afford after shelling out ยฃ126k for a weekโs stay.
