London Mandarin Hotels 

Mandarin Hotels, London

As its name suggests, the Mandarin Oriental group is characterised by an air of cool colonialism mixed with eastern philosophies.

There may only be one Mandarin hotel in London but it occupies one of the capital's most prestigious locations, right in the heart of Knightsbridge. Though it faces boutique department store Harvey Nichols and Knightsbridge Underground station, and is at the busy convergence of three major roads, to the rear it looks out over the soothing landscape of Hyde Park. These romantic park views make it a popular wedding venue and a wedding planning service is available.

Five-star Mandarin Oriental London is also one of London's most luxurious hotels. Opulent suites are individually designed and feature the latest technology. Many rooms also have balconies.

The multi-award winning Mandarin Oriental Spa is considered to be one of the best in the UK, its exclusive signature treatments developed following the holistic principles of Chinese medicine to promote inner harmony and well being. Sensuous surroundings include an Amethyst Crystal Steam Room, sanarium, vitality Pool, Zen colour therapy relaxation area and a state-of-the-art gym.

It alrady has one of London's best French restaurants, Bar Boulud. In January 2011 Mandarin Oriental london welcomes a new resident, maverick chef Heston Blumenthal, who will be opening his Dinner restaurant, sure to be a draw, if more of a draw were needed.

Other five-star hotels around Hyde Park include The Dorchester Hotel London and InterContinental London Park Lane. To book a Mandarin Oriental Hotel contact us on at jenny@LondonTown.com or call 020 7437 4370
