Ham Yard Hotel

Ham Yard Hotel, London

This chic, slightly masculine, design-forward property, tucked away on a quiet square in Mayfair, is the brainchild of restaurateurs Jeremy King and Chris Corbin.

The Lanesborough

Ultra-feminine and gilded beyond belief, The Lanesborough is Hyde Park Corner's knock-out hotel. Each room is assigned a personal butler, and the service is both highly attentive and personalized.

Best For: Five-star lovers who value amenities and service, and travelers who appreciate grand, old-world interior design.

Haymarket Hotel

Colorful and whimsical, in the way that all Firmdale properties are, but with a touch more quiet confidence, the Haymarket is the West End's most luxurious boutique option.

Best For: Kit Kemp admirers interested in a more discreet, less heavily trafficked option than The Ham Yard.
