Overview of Famous London Hotels

Beautiful views from The Rosewood’s Garden Terrace…where you may run into Oprah. Photo by The Rosewood London.

1. The Rosewood London ($445+/night) = Newly-Renovated Five-Star Set in Historic Mansion.  Though this hotel is set in a former mansion ~ it was only opened as a hotel in 2000.  Justin Bieber & Oprah Winfrey have both stayed here, as have Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker, in the fall of 2022.  From the Rosewood, you can walk to the British Museum, or simply stay put in its posh bar & spa. At under $500/night, it’s also one of the most reasonably-priced hotels listed!
2. The Lanesborough Hotel ($1,014+/night) = Regency-Style Set between Hyde Park & Buckingham Palace.  Lots of heavy-hitters have stayed here ~ including Madonna, Cher, Sylvester Stallone, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Pamela Anderson, & Jim Carrey.  It has a perfect five-star rating on Trip Advisor, which is almost unheard of!  People love this place.  If you can’t afford to stay, visit their beautiful Lanesborough Grill for lunch or dinner.
3. The Langham Hotel ($525+/night) = Posh Marylebone Hotel with a Downton-Abbey Exterior.  Located on Regent Street in the fashionable West End, this hotel has an imposing exterior that looks a lot like Highclere Castle.  Given the regal feel, it’s no surprise that Princess Diana, Lady Gaga, Angelina Jolie, & Colin Farrell have all slumbered here ~ in one of the hotel’s 380 rooms.  They famously have an indoor pool (rare in London), spas & saunas: thus, it’s a great place to pamper yourself.
4. Baglioni Hotel ($540+/night) = Lux Italian-Style Hotel Located in Kensington on Hyde Park.  Whereas the Savoy & Ritz have a more old-fashioned feel, the Baglioni is a modern take on luxury. Sleek rooms are furnished in a polished, Italian-style.  Halle Berry, Al Pacino, & Will Smith have all spent time here ~ & may have walked to a concert at nearby Royal Albert Hall, which was featured in one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous movies: “The Man Who Knew Too Much.” 
5. The Savoy ($720+/night) = Historic Hotel Located on the River Thames with VIEWS.  Built in 1889, the Savoy is older than the Ritz, & was also featured in the final scenes of “Notting Hill,” at Julia Roberts’ press conference.  Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Rihanna, & Taylor Swift have all made appearances here.  Situated across from the city’s famous ferris wheel: you’ve got views of the London Eye & River Thames from many rooms.  They also have a famous “Afternoon Tea” which my friends & I visited (it’s very posh)!
