The Peninsula London

This lioness is adorned with painterly illustrations in Brewster Green and shimmering gold, a palette synonymous with luxury vehicles and timeless elegance. Decorative emblems celebrate the heritage and sophistication of British culture while paying homage to the grandeur and refined experiences found in Belgravia and at The Peninsula London itself.

The lioness sculpture is a playful nod to the stone lions guarding the hotel’s entrances, and is adorned with illustrated icons of The Peninsula London, from signature afternoon tea to its vintage Rolls-Royce Phantom II.

Located in the heart of Belgravia, with views over Hyde Park and Wellington Arch, The Peninsula London stands at one of the city’s most prestigious addresses.

Opened in 2023 and designed to complement the surrounding heritage architecture, the hotel is moments from three Royal Parks, Buckingham Palace and Harrods.

Its 190 timeless rooms and suites have been designed by Peter Marino, while the wider hotel is home to a collection of restaurants and bars, The Peninsula Spa & Wellness Centre, and a fleet of fourteen cars, all in signature Peninsula green.

Among the restaurants is Brooklands by Claude Bosi, which holds two Michelin stars and offers drinks and dining with sweeping views over the city.
