The Berkeley
Hotel overlooks Hyde Park and is within easy reach of Knightsbridge
and London's famous stores. It is moments from many of London's
acclaimed museums and landmarks.
The Berkeley pool is one of only two rooftop pools in London
and has a retracting roof and wonderful views over Hyde Park.
The extensive renovations and the addition of restaurants
such as the pioneer of fusion cuisine, Vong, and the two
starred La Tante Claire, has added to the glamour and style
of this five star hotel.
The hotel offers a variety of meeting and banqueting facilities,
which can accommodate from 8-boardroom style in The Wilton
Room and up to 250 people theatre style in The Ballroom.

Hyde Park, St. Paul’s Church, or nearby mews houses.
Italian marble bathrooms feature monogrammed bathrobes, slippers
and towels, a power shower in the tub, magnifying shaving/make

The
Berkeley Health Club and Spa is tucked away at the top of
the hotel. A gold-leaf and marine-blue reception gives way
to five treatment rooms offering innovative Crystal Point
and La Stone therapies. Up a flight of marble stairs is a
4-foot-deep (1.2 meters), turquoise-tiled pool with a retractable
roof. The adjacent air-conditioned gymnasium offers sweeping
views over Hyde Park, flat-screen satellite TVs above every
TechnoGym cardiovascular machine and an on-site fitness instructor.
There are six meeting rooms ranging from a capacity of six
for dinner to 400 for a reception in the chandelier-hung
ballroom. The most appealing is the wooden-floored Mulberry
Room furnished entirely in scarlet, gold, and green Mulberry
fabrics.
Just off the lobby is The Cabinet. This glass and chrome
cabinet features a changing array of up-to-the-minute luxury
goods.
