There has been a tremendous effort from all involved and it has clearly been worth the wait! Our dream of owning and operating a Peninsula Hotel in London has become a reality. It is our hope that The Peninsula London will become an icon in the city and be recognised by our guests as one of the finest hotels in the world.”
The Peninsula London, located at the corner of Hyde Park, officially opened its doors on 12 September 2023, receiving a warm reception from both British and international guests.
Its rooftop restaurant, Brooklands by Claude Bosi, achieved the distinguished honour of gaining two Michelin stars within just four months of opening, further establishing The Peninsula London as a beacon of luxury and sophistication.
