Opened in 2011, this sister-hotel of the Dorchester has fast become one of<br />

the chicest hotels in London. The contemporary interior design is provided<br />

by world renowned architect Thierry Despont, who has created a décor that<br />

focuses on personal living—the idea is to create an atmosphere that feels<br />

like a private residence. The façade has become an instantly recognisable<br />

feature of Park Lane—the bold horizontal ‘fins’ are eco-friendly, resisting<br />

solar gain to the hotel, thereby reducing the power required to run the<br />

hotel’s air conditioning system. The environmental theme continues with<br />

the location of 45 Park Lane—opposite the sprawling Hyde Park, the<br />

hotel offers scintillating views from all of the suites. Wolfgang Puck has<br />

brought his celebrated CUT concept to London with a restaurant on the<br />

ground floor, which alongside the sleek Bar 54, brings a bit of Beverly Hills<br />

glamour to the London dining scene. Within walking distance of Regent<br />

Street and Piccadilly, this state-of-the-art hotel offers instant access to<br />

London shopping.<br />

THE PENTHOUSE SUITE<br />

� Square footage: 1,830 � Nightly rate: $10,204<br />

Why we love it: If having a fantastic view over one of the most iconic locations<br />

in London sounds like your idea of perfection then the Penthouse Suite may be<br />

for you. Situated on the ninth floor of the hotel and accessible only by a private<br />

elevator, the suite offers beautiful views over the park from the 360° wraparound<br />

terrace. The décor carries on the theme from the rest of the hotel—warm colors<br />

and light textures coming together to create a deeply personal living space.<br />

The master bedroom features a king-size bed, the living room is packed full of<br />

high-tech gadgetry and the dining area is great for entertaining guests.
