Located in fashionable Knightsbridge, The Berkeley is a London institution.<br />
Elegant, airy and exclusive, it is one of the best places to experience your stay<br />
in complete luxury. Among The Berkeley’s many attractions are its famed ‘Blue<br />
Bar’, a cocktail paradise frequented by the likes of Madonna and Leonardo<br />
di Caprio, and its two-starred Michelin restaurant Marcus Wareing at The<br />
Berkeley. On the eighth floor is London’s only roof-top health club and spa,<br />
which boasts panoramic views of Hyde Park. On sunny days, the roof retracts<br />
with the push of a button creating the capital’s ultimate Roman-style outdoor<br />
swimming pool.<br />
TOP SUITE<br />
PAvILLION SUITE<br />
� Square footage: 1,580 � Nightly rate: $7,220<br />
Why we love it: Featuring a king-size bedroom, en-suite bathroom, spacious<br />
sitting room, dining room, guest bathroom, and – best of all – private<br />
access to the hotel’s roof terrace, the Pavillion Suite is the height of luxury.<br />
Decorated in clean, modern tones of cream and caramel, the suite’s elegant<br />
lines melt seamlessly into the timeless grandeur of the hotel. Moreover<br />
each guest will receive, in addition to the usual extensive media and 24/7<br />
service amenities, their own personal iPad for exclusive use during their<br />
stay. This small but important touch brings The Berkeley firmly into the 21st<br />
century, and is the cherry on top of the cake.<br />
