Standing like a sleek glass-fronted sentinel in the City of London, Pan Pacific London offers a striking departure from the familiar stately bastions of Mayfair and Knightsbridge. Since its opening, it’s brought its signature Singaporean hospitality to the Square Mile, where high urban energy outside combines with a zen-like calm inside. Offering 237 rooms and suites, a two AA-rosette restaurant, an afternoon tea lounge, and an entire floor dedicated to wellness, complete with an 18.5m infinity pool which offers a surreal, meditative vantage point over the city buzz below.

Pan Pacific’s commitment to excellence has been further cemented by its retention of the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star status, its fifth consecutive win in its five years of operation.
