45 Park Lane Hotel

45 Park Lane Mayfair, London

Just a few steps from Mayfair stalwart The Dorchester, 5 Park Lane may be the rock and roll little sister but it lacks none of the original’s plushness. For one example, turn to the bubblebath menu, complete with personal attendant (because when you’re indulging, why would you run a bath yourself?) Everything here is of the high-end persuasion, from duck-egg suede wall coverings to red leather couches and marbled wall tiling. Rooms come with iPads and butlers, though the overall feel is not excessively flash – more one for the connoisseur. Service is as discreet and attentive as you’d expect. One of the greatest advantages of a stay here is easy access to your room, post-gorge at Wolfgang Puck’s CUT, or after a Martini too many at the swish bar – though these all come at Park Lane prices. AM. Doubles from £523.
