The Peninsula, the world’s longest continually operating hotel group, opens its long-awaited London location in Belgravia; we take a first look inside
'The beautiful design of the property is the result of years of creative effort by some of the most groundbreaking architects, designers, and creative partners in the industry,' says Peter Borer, chief operating officer at The Peninsula Hotels group. 'The hotel is a showpiece, not only for [the group], but for this storied part of London.'Careful development meant that Hopkins Architects crafted a majestic property replete with a grand ballroom and private cinema.
Bringing in natural light and encouraging connection with the property’s verdant surroundings – which include two royal parks as well as Buckingham Palace Garden – was a big inspiration behind design elements such as triple-height windows in the lobby, and vast windows in many of the bedrooms.
Marino’s team sourced specialist glasswork from Turkey and, to complete the palette of soft blues and gold, commissioned custom carpets from Tai Ping Carpets, which has supplied rugs to Buckingham Palace, the White House and the Sultan of Brunei. Privacy is prioritised in the guest rooms, which all feature a mahogany-panelled dressing room and a valet cupboard, where deliveries and dry cleaning can be left without disturbing guests.
