    • Dukes London
      Hotel Mayfair, London, England
      9 /10
      A gem of hotel which has recently undergone an extensive makeover, including the now much enhanced GBR restaurant. The hotel dates from 1908 and it remains a convivial and traditional place to stay (the Union Jack still flies above the hotel’s courtyard entrance), while the cocktail bar is as fine a venue as ever.

    • Flemings Mayfair
      Hotel Mayfair, London, England
      9 /10
      The type of hotel you’d want to recommend to your friends – but ask them to keep it a secret. The rooms have a rock and roll meets Hollywood edge, while the food at Ormer Restaurant is practically faultless. Throw in the superb, personable service, and you’ve got yourself one of London’s most underrated luxury hotels. Read expert review

    • COMO The Halkin
      Hotel Belgravia, London, England
      9 /10
      You won’t find a hotel in central London more discreet than this. The Halkin excels in the art of displaying assured self confidence in what is does. It's easy to walk past without even noticing its existence; my hunch is that this is exactly how the Halkin and its guests prefer it. Read expert review

    • Bingham Riverhouse
      Hotel Richmond, London, England
      9 /10
      A characterful boutique hotel on the river, with a grassy garden that extends to the towpath, country-kitchen bar, and library-style interiors to match its literary history. Spend the afternoon wandering the town before quaffing spritzy cocktails here with a book – one of the many thousand Penguin classics, perhaps. Read expert review

    • The Lanesborough
      Hotel Hyde Park, London, England
      9 /10
      This mercilessly resplendent and highly polished Neoclassical mansion overlooking Hyde Park dazzles with gold-leaf embellishment, ornamental frosting, and a down-to-earth charm that effuses the feel of a private residence. All rooms come with butlers, and Michelin-starred Céleste and the spa are worth a visit alone. Read expert review
