Whythe Lanes borough hotel is one of London’s finest
The Lanesborough is the ultimate five-star hotel where lu xe meets ease
The Lanesborough hotel is an experience like no other. It's a rare gem located in the heart of London and a stone's throw away from Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace. If you fancy venturing out a little further you can make good use of the hotel's car service where a chauffeur will be waiting to take you anywhere you want to go. Shopping in Harrods? Check.
Ask for the Apsley suite for the full luxury experience. This room almost feels like you have your very own apartment in the centre of London, with a butler at your service to fulfil every whim you may you have. Fancy an English breakfast tea in your room with cake? The touch of a button will have you experiencing high tea in the most decadent setting.
Although the settings of the hotel date back to the early 15th century, the facilities are very much built for the millennia, with a remote control to handle opening and closing you curtains, as well as an artistic picture on the wall that transforms into a TV. The experience will have you feeling like James Bond, with all the new-age gadgets to ensure you have everything you need.
The breakfast is located in the Celeste restaurant, but if you have had a difficult night and don’t want to travel downstairs? not to worry, your butler will arrive speedily to take your order. You can order anything from Eggs Benedict to French toast straight to your lavish suite. Then you can decide whether to have breakfast( decisions, decisions) in bed or,
if you feel like heading into your lounge area, that will suffice too. The absolute must while you stay at The Lanesborough (and there are quite a few) is that you head to Celeste to have a candlelit dinner with your loved one. The restaurant screams prohibition meets art deco with a splash of ancient Egyptian décor. To say it is beautiful would be an understatement and the ornate and somewhat unique setting gives you a taste of what is to come.
With a Michelin star to its name, Celeste dining is like no other. Recommended is the steak and it will be the best piece of filet mignon you have ever eaten. It can be paired with a chocolate surprise for dessert if you are feeling a little more indulgent. Once you have had the best meal of your life (we are not kidding) head out for a brisk walk to Hyde Park and enjoy the natural landscape that London has to offer.
The second must while you stay at The Lanesborough is the spa. The treatments are like no other and the setting is fanciful. If you have any stressors this spa experience is certain to get rid of any bad karma. Recommended is the signature Lanesborough Lather – a 90-minute body buffing treatment that will leave you with gleaming skin and relaxed muscles. This ultimate time-out will have you ready to break away from the hustle and bustle of London and retreat back to your room for a good old cup of tea.
Checking out will probably be the most difficult part of your stay because you have to say goodbye to all your luxury endeavors after an experience you will never forget.
