Best Luxury Hotels in Greater London

Despite the fact that Canary Wharf is a very vibrant part of London, you are sure to enjoy an especially tranquil stay at the Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel. The floor to ceiling windows in the guestrooms let in plenty of light and allow guests to enjoy pretty views of the River Thames from the comfort of their large beds. The room décor is a calming blue and white, which makes the most of the natural light that floods into the rooms. Dining al fresco on the spacious terrace of the Quadrato Restaurant, Bar & Lounge during the sultry summer months is a real treat and there is an excellent selection of dishes for guests to sink their teeth into. Those who are in search of pure relaxation will find a large sauna and Jacuzzi onsite, while there is also a pretty swimming pool to splash around in.

With just over three hundred rooms and suites to choose from, guests at this decadent hotel are sure to find something to suit their style. The most sumptuous options boast huge bathrooms set with bathtubs as well as comfortable sitting rooms positioned next to huge picture windows. Unwinding at the end of the day with a juicy steak at the Manhattan Grill is the perfect way to get the evening started and as the name suggests all of the dishes here have been inspired by the diverse cuisine of New Year. Guests who are entertaining business clients can also meet them in the stylish G&Tea bar, where there is an impressive selection of gins from around the world to choose from.

With its quirky interiors and splashes of bright colour, this establishment really stands out from the rather stark and business-like style of the rest of Canary Wharf. A short stroll along the underwater foot tunnel in Greenwich takes guests to a wide range of attractions, although this is a great place to simply unwind for a while. The large indoor swimming pool is the perfect place to splash around while working up an appetite. Dining options at the hotel include all-day dining at ‘Food Store’ Driven by produce that’s in season, socially and ethically produced and sourced, chef Rumel Pinnock serves an all-day dining menu perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner. All appetites and tastes are catered for, with a selection of small plates, pizzas and hearty mains. While Mr Todiwala’s Kitchen run by celebrity Chef, Cyrus Todiwala OBE, brings signature dishes from his acclaimed landmark restaurant in the city, Café Spice Namaste, to be enjoyed in this stylish, vibrant restaurant at the hotel. The hotel has 129 rooms for guests to choose from and all are spacious with plenty of cosy touches.

Less than a mile from the iconic attractions of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace, the Conrad London St James is set within two 19th-century townhouses which were once Queen Anne’s Chambers and government offices. This property has been the Conrad London St. James since September 2014 and part of the Hilton Worldwide group, it became the brand’s 24th hotel, taking on the US chain’s upscale approach to international hospitality. There are plenty of nods to its past connections, not least in its fascinating and thoughtfully curated art collection as well as plenty of dining experiences from its themed afternoon teas, an art deco-inspired dining concept The Pen, The Hedgerow bar and a traditional London pub. This property oozes luxury and is one of our favourites in London.

Patterned wallpaper, painted panelling, palms, Persian rugs and parquet flooring create both a classic and on-trend aesthetic in this property. Bedrooms with carved headboards and bold-printed cushions range from “cosy” through to “luxury studio” categories. The Coral Room salon bar channels the 1920s and was designed in collaboration with Martin Brudnizki. The Dalloway Terrace is a fully heated al fresco space for all-day dining, adjacent to The Coral Garden, with its botanical canopy and fireplace. Then there’s the hedonistic Bloomsbury Club Bar, with a Tarot inspired cocktail menu.
