The Grosvenor House Suites by Jumeirah offers luxurious, sleek suites in one of London's best tourist destinations.
The property sits on the outskirts of the famous Hyde Park, best known for housing Kensington Palace (and Winter Wonderland). The rooms give guests views straight into the park, so they can enjoy their room service while looking out into London’s largest park.
The property was once the largest private townhouse situated on Park Lane, housing Lords and Dukes, until it was demolished and rebuilt into the Grosvenor Suites in the 1920s. Now, you can channel your inner Royal by staying there.
The lowdown
The 5-star destination is within walking distance for nearby shops as well as the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street. It's also a short bus ride to High Street Kensington, making it convenient for visiting any and all tourist destinations.
Take a tour of Kensington Palace to see where Princess Diana once lived or if you happen to be in town during Christmas time, head across Park Lane to Hyde Park to enjoy some mulled wine and cider at Winter Wonderland.
The rooms
The private residences opened in 2012 and after a year-long renovation and has 130 residence suites ranging from studio residences to one, two, and three bedrooms apartments
The decor is incredibly sleek - make sure to look out for plugs for phones, as they're hard to find.
The apartments are large and luxurious, offering plenty of space if you have a group visiting London. During our recent visit, the living room windows provided a lovely view of Hyde Park.
The bathrooms offer Molton Brown products and luxe bath tubs.
Rates start from £795 per night
Eating and drinking
The space has a large restaurant in the atrium that many of the rooms overlook (be careful when you lift your blinds to avoid flashing someone enjoying brunch). The restaurant is open 24 hours a day in case you come home from a night out a bit peckish. But the apartments also house large kitchens so you can do your own cooking.
If you don't feel like cooking during your vacation, opt for room service and enjoy the park views.
