The Lanesborough: London's Regal Retreat
The Lanesborough occupies perhaps the grandest location of any London hotel, standing resplendently at Hyde Park Corner, its imposing fa莽ade gazing out over Hyde Park to the north, Knightsbridge to the west, and Mayfair to the east.

With a dedicated 24-hour butler, the Library Bar's vintage cognac collection, the Garden Room cigar lounge, and the Little VIP Club for children, The Lanesborough is the epitome of London luxury.
