Praise
In terms of aesthetics, the former home of Viscount Lanesborough echoes Regency wall to wall, where Corinthian columns and gold leaf gilding accentuate neo-classical opulence, not to mention the vast art and sculpture collection on display throughout the property.
Fodor's Travel, January 2025Live out your Jane Austen fantasy at this Regency-styled five-star. Though it may not have the history of some of London’s classic hotels, the Lanesborough’s distinct character (butler service for every room, oil paintings, a hotel cat) would have you believe it's been holding court since the 1800s. The super spa and recently refreshed restaurant are other major draws.
The Telegraph, January 2024Combining a stellar location between Knightsbridge, Hyde Park and Mayfair with the sense of history for which London is so revered, this Regency-style hotel ticks all the right boxes for a quintessential British stay.
Elite Traveler, April 2017Under the direction of Paris studio Alberto Pinto and London firm ReardonSmith, the Lanesborough's opulent 93 rooms and public spaces have been meticulously restored by British craftsmen, preserving the building's distinct Regency architectural style.
Wallpaper*, January 2017The hotel is now part of the Oetker Collection, and it shows (it excels at service). So you'll have a round-the-clock butler; ask for Hervé, who will protest loudly if you don't let him unpack and press your clothes.
