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.
