Dedicated to the art of gracious living, The Berkeley Hotel is situated in the fashionable area of Belgravia, a few minutes walk from Hyde Park and the elegant shops of Knightsbridge and Sloane Street. The accomodations are richly appointed and the public areas are exquisitely composed by designers such as Tessa Kennedy and John Stefanidis. In addition, The Berkeley is London's top gastronomic destination, featuring the acclaimed, Michelin star rated Petrus restaurant, and superb, casual dining at the Boxwood Cafe. The hotel's famous drinking-spot, The Blue Bar, has been a talking point of glossy magazines and gossip columns around the globe. The hotel, its bar and pool are all favored by stars such as Madonna, Leonardo diCaprio and Giselle. Guests enjoy the celebrated afternoon tea at the Caramel Room, with its award-winning fashionista motif. Pret-a-Portea adds a creative twist to the classic elements of the traditional English Afternoon tea, with cakes and pastries inspired by every fashion season's catwalk designs for the style conscious, and with savories in miniature mouth-fulls for the figure conscious. The Berkeley Health Club and Spa has a high-tech gymnasium with renowned personal training and a rooftop swimming pool that opens up to the sky in fine weather. With its discreet and lavish service, The Berkeley embodies the most civilized of virtues.

"Although the hotel was a bit rundown the staff and the quality of the service excelled. one problem was the bar was very slow in servicing my needs. The best aspects of the hotel are the location, spa and the service."

Fine Dining on Site
The Berkeley features the acclaimed, Michelin star rated Petrus. Marcus Wareing, the Crown Prince of British cooking, opened Petrus at its new location within The Berkeley in the autumn of 2003. The name of the restaurant comes from the famous Chateau in the Bordeaux wine region, which is renowned for producing some of the world's finest wines. The restaurant's setting provides the perfect stage for Marcus' theatrical cuisine. Rich with vivid colours, the interior is the work of designer David Collins who takes full advantage of the claret textures associated with Petrus. The Boxwood Cafe combines the best traditions of service with a relaxed atmosphere to offer a classic English dining experience. The decor is inspired by a classical English garden and the seasonal menu reflects ingredients that could be found at a traditional British market. The Blue Bar is chic and effortlessly stylish. The 50-seat bar is a striking blue color, and has a white onyx bar and a black crocodile print leather floor. Choose from over 50 different whiskies, a wide range of champagnes, original and classic cocktails and a selected range of wine by the glass. A specially created Grape and Smoke menu is designed to pair cigars with carefully chosen wines to enhance the connoisseur's enjoyment. Lastly, The Caramel Room is available as a venue throughout the day for light meals or drinks as well as Pret-a-Portea, the fashionista's afternoon tea.
