4. SERENITY IN THE CITY
Immersed in luxury with a storied past, Corinthia London should be at the top of the wish list for discerning travellers seeking a quintessentially British stay. Housed within an impressive Victorian building dating back to 1885, playing host to high society gatherings and opulent balls frequented by aristocrats and royalty was a common occurrence. Requisitioned by the British government in 1916, the original hotel was transformed into administrative offices for the Ministry of Defence and was later used as the headquarters for MI9. It is believed that room 801 held the government’s records of UFO sightings. Since 2008, the building has experienced a detailed restoration to return it to its original function and former glory as a luxury hotel.
Featuring 294 impeccably designed rooms including 51 suites and penthouses – some of which are located in historic turrets and include private rooftop terraces, spa rooms, and wine cellars – old-school glamour and high-end finishes underscore the five-star hotel’s offering. Several impressive dining establishments await, including the renowned David Collins-designed Crystal Moon Lounge where afternoon tea set beneath a two-tonne Baccarat chandelier is the go-to for London’s elite. Beyond its exquisite culinary options, Corinthia London is home to an award-winning four-floor spa, complete with a dedicated thermal floor featuring a silver steel swimming pool, vitality pool, amphitheatre sauna, ice fountain, marble heated loungers, and private sleep pods. Designed to bring a sense of calm to the mind, body and spirit, ESPA Life at Corinthia presents a huge variety of mindful and wellbeing-focused treatments to induce inner and outer serenity – just one of the many reasons to book a stay at the chic hotel.
