Royal Treatment
One of London’s finest hotels, The Lanesborough reopened on July 1 after extensive renovations, which saw a complete overhaul of the property’s 93 guest rooms, 43 suites and its publicly accessible areas. The largest and grandest room is The Royal Suite, which comprises seven bedrooms. The property closed in December 2013 to be revamped by renowned interior design studio Alberto Pinto; the firm added plenty of elegant touches while simultaneously preserving the building’s status as a Regency heritage landmark. The hotel’s restaurant, Céleste, also reopens with a new Regency-inspired design and executive chef Florian Favario at the helm, who has benefitted from the tutelage of one of the best-known chefs in Paris, Eric Frechon. lanesborough.com
