The Peninsula London: 1 Grosvenor Place palace on Hyde Park Corner with Two-Michelin-Starred Brooklands by Claude Bosi, 25m pool, and Rolls-Royce fleet

Reigning with monumental neoclassical Portland stone architectural majesty and British aristocratic grand palace nobility at prestigious 1 Grosvenor Place on Hyde Park Corner in Belgravia, London, United Kingdom (directly overlooking Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace Gardens, and Wellington Arch, 30 minutes from London Heathrow Airport), The Peninsula London opened in 2023 as London’s premier newly constructed billion-pound luxury grand palace. Masterfully designed by celebrated British architect Peter Marino and Hopkins Architects, the 190-room luxury palace is wrapped in Portland stone, an expansive landscaped central cobblestone courtyard, and soaring colonnades. Centered around world-famous Chef Claude Bosi’s acclaimed Two-Michelin-Starred rooftop dining institution Brooklands by Claude Bosi (celebrating British aviation and motorsport with a full-scale Concorde model suspended from the ceiling), a magnificent 25-metre subterranean heated indoor freshwater swimming pool, a fleet of 13 bespoke Brewster Green hybrid Rolls-Royces, and the palatial Forbes Five-Star Peninsula Spa, this property is the British capital’s ultimate grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished London aristocratic glamour and Belgravia historic splendour: liveried Peninsula pageboys in white pillbox hats greet guests beneath the monumental colonnaded cobblestone courtyard off Grosvenor Place before entering Peter Marino’s soaring double-height lobby salon with triple-height floor-to-ceiling glass framing Wellington Arch, hand-painted murals, and chilled English sparkling wine or signature Peninsula tea with warm warm Gougères canapés. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke London royal, shopping, and aviation pursuits: walking two minutes into the rose gardens of Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace grounds (steps away), taking the hotel’s private Brewster Green Rolls-Royce Phantom for VIP shopping along New Bond Street and Knightsbridge (5 minutes away), private VIP Royal Box seats for concerts at Royal Albert Hall (10 minutes away), swimming across the 25-metre subterranean heated pool beneath soft ambient lighting, indulging in bespoke cellular therapies at the Forbes Five-Star Peninsula Spa, sipping craft aviation cocktails at Brooklands Bar, and reserving a rooftop table for dinner at Two-Michelin-Starred Brooklands.

Palace living balances active London cultural discovery with serene subterranean sanctuary wellness: The Peninsula Spa features private luxury treatment suites, crystal steam rooms, saunas, a 25-metre heated indoor freshwater swimming pool, and therapies utilizing organic botanicals, Subtle Energies, and ESPA skincare. Dining is an extraordinary Modern British-French culinary summit: Two-Michelin-Starred aviation gastronomy at Brooklands by Claude Bosi (celebrated for Devonshire cockles, Welsh lamb, and sommelier Grand Crus), authentic Cantonese at Canton Blue, traditional afternoon tea in The Lobby, cocktails at Brooklands Bar, and 24-hour in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 190 rooms and luxury executive suites styled by Peter Marino in warm British walnut boiserie, bespoke mahogany furniture, deep freestanding marble soaking bathtubs, private walk-in dressing rooms, and floor-to-ceiling soundproof triple-glazed windows framing Hyde Park, Wellington Arch, or Buckingham Palace Gardens ranging from 51 to 470 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom Peninsula botanical amenities.
