15 of the Best Hotels in London to Book Right Now - AFAR

"Set behind restored neoclassical façades and reached via a carriage entrance into a serene courtyard, this property occupies a reimagined Edwardian mansion with grand architectural flourishes including a multi-floor Italian marble staircase beneath a towering cupola. Tony Chi’s interiors favor lacquered furnishings and elegant geometric rugs across 263 rooms and 45 suites, which feel spacious and residential; a 2,000-square-foot Manor House Suite even has its own private entrance and elevator. The hotel’s lively Scarfes Bar channels British caricaturist inspiration with inventive cocktails, while the Holborn Dining Room emphasizes seasonal British produce and an excellent cheese selection." - Sandra Ramani, Charu Suri, Katherine LaGrave, Jennifer Flowers, Laura Holt, Laura Dannen Redman
