Belgravia

If you’re seeking a quiet, affluent London neighbourhood with some of the city’s most affluent shopping this is for you.

Explore

Belgravia is one of London’s most exclusive and affluent neighborhoods, known for its grand Georgian and Regency architecture, tranquil garden squares, and a serene, village-like atmosphere.

The neighborhood was developed in the early 19th century by Richard Grosvenor, the 2nd Marquess of Westminster, and much of the area is still owned by the Grosvenor Estate. Its streets are lined with elegant white stucco terraces, high-end boutiques, and embassies, reflecting its reputation as a haven for the wealthy and influential.

It is also home to more five star hotels than any other London neighborhood apart from Mayfair.

Five-star hotels in Belgravia

My Recommendation

The Goring

I had to start with the fact that Catherine chose to stay at The Goring the night before her wedding to William as this fact is so closely linked to The Goring. But The Goring is much more than this. If a classic English country garden was a five-star luxury hotel in London this would be it. Quintessentially English in all the good ways, this family run hotel is one of the most delightful five star hotels in London in my opinion.

The Peninsula

It took seven years to build The Peninsula in London after the group spent 35 years finding the perfect location. This is at the top end of London five star hotel decadence with the prices to match.

The Cadogan

The second British property from Belmond, this hotel delivers on the Orient Express-style indulgence for which the brand is famed. At just 54 rooms, the Cadogan manages to deliver five star in a personalised, boutique manner.

Taj 51 Buckingham Gate

You’ll feel like you’ve wandered into another world when you enter the beautiful courtyard/garden at the entrance to Taj 51. Get ready for opulence with an Indian feel and staff who come with rave reviews.

COMO The Halkin

The COMO hotels are famous for their stylish and holistic approach to hospitality, and this boutique-sized property in London is no exception. The design is contemporary, comfortable and warm. It is light on many of the features of other London five star hotels particularly on the food and beverage front. But it you’re after a discreet, stylish and simple stay in London this is the hotel for you.

Top Attractions in Belgravia

Belgravia is all about Georgian architecture and charming streets so you won’t find any of London’s top tourist attractions in this neighborhood. But you will find some of city’s most high end shopping including Harrods and Harvey Nichols.
