The people at the Lanesborough were so kind and lovely. I wanted a Bridgerton Experience and got one. Waiting for me in our suite were Bridgeton related treats and tea. We also participated in the Queen Charlotte tea. It was lovely. Our stay came at the end of our 10 day tour in England and it was a nice way to decompress after a busy 10 days before our trip home. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Hotel's Favorite
If you are looking for the best hotel stay in London then look no further, staying at the Lanesborough is like a dream. They have managed to combine a cosy family home feel with service that even outshines the Ritz. After staying at almost every 5* hotel in London we can honestly say no where has come close to the experience we have had staying here. The staff make you feel like they are your friends and that nothing is too much, especially Milton, George, Alisa, Anetta and Abbas who even walked our dog for us whilst we relaxed. No matter what time of day (or night) it is there is always someone to help you with anything you could possibly want. The food was incredible, the spa was outstanding and the room was magical. We have already booked to come back even though we live round the corner as we missed it the second we left. Amazing experience and we can not wait to come back, Muffin, Cannoli, Danielle and Alex x…

The Lanesbourough is simply the best high end hotel in London. I’ve had the opportunity to stay at some of the finest hotels and resort in the world and the Lanesbourough is right up at the top. Our suite was exceptional. Fresh flowers, excellent amenities left daily, excellent butler service and impeccably maintained. What sets this hotel apart in particular is the location and staff. You couldn’t get a better location. Located on Knightsbridge and just across the street from Hyde Park and the Hyde Park Underground. You couldn’t be more centrally located, yet well away from the crush of tourists. The staff are next level. If I had an issue, they were attentive and worked hard to rectify. Special shout out to the Concierge team. They went above and beyond to make our visit exceptional. Anything I requested, they made happen. Truly old school, high end, detailed hospitality. Ashley, Daniel and Simon are rock stars. Treat them well Lanesbourough! The reception staff were exceptional as well. Every time we passed the desk, we were greeted,…by name, as if we were family. Every time. Finally, shout out to Paul, who always offered us a warm greeting when we were awaiting the lift. And let’s not forget the house cat Lilibet. This hypoallergenic angel greeted us as well. Minor gripe. The one thing I would like to see return however is the tiered snack presentation in the library bar. Really enjoyed that in the past and it made me visit more frequently. If I recall it was a stack of olives, crisps and nuts. Bring it back! Again, best hotel in London, full stop!…

We had an excellent lunch at The Lanesborough (at the Library Bar) with my closed friend. The friendliest staff Paola, she delivered an excellent service and helped alot on choosing food and beverage. Giorgio, he was very nice with us all the time and we enjoyed chatting with him. Mr Martin Klein, the gentleman helped us having a great hotel tour and he is great professional with a solid knowledge of this stunning place. I am truly thankful for all the names I mentioned and I will come back soon.

I came this amazing venue (The Library Bar) with a friend of mine for lunch and we have been just amazed by the food, by the service, by the friendliest staff ever. It became absolutely unforgettable experience for me and especially for my friend who never been in London before. Special thanks to Paola, she was quite helpful, friendly and we enjoyed her recommendation choosing the wine and food. Giorgio, who delivered an amazing service during our lunch and nice conversation. Martin Klein, the gentleman who helped us to have amazing hotel tour, informed about the hotel, history of the hotel and everything we needed. Superb experience, great staff. We will definitely come back and it's highly recommended for anyone who plans a visit for this great place.

This review is for the Afternoon Tea. We loved having a gorgeous gluten free tea service at the Lanesborough. The hotel and dining room is everything we imagined it to be in our dreams. So beautiful, classic, British without being stuffy. When we walked in the piano man was playing Studio Gibhli songs. The cushions were so blue and soft and the tableware was gleaming. My kids were speechless. The kitchen made the most beautiful gluten free and nut free traditional and artistic sandwiches, scones and pastries. My son called it a core memory. Thank you Lanesborough. We love you so much and cannot wait to come back someday.

Extremely good a very happy place to stay. Staff excellent. Nicest place to stay in London if you want 5*plus luxury. We found all to be as you want it to be not as given. I can not recommend The Lanesborough enough. I have stayed at many places that profess to be but are not in the same league.

We recently enjoyed another faultless 3 night stay at this exceptional hotel. With its ornate public rooms and bedrooms that offer all the luxury and comfort you could wish for, The Lanesborough is a very special place. What sets this hotel apart from others, is the impeccable staff, all highly trained and delivering the highest level of service. A special thank you to our wonderful butlers, Andre and Priestley who took great care of us to ensure we had a superb stay. Housekeeping is top notch, the location of the hotel is perfect, and the teams in the Grill and Library bar are always so friendly. Many thanks Helen & Ann x

While this gorgeous property provided instances of high-quality moments during our two-night stay, the disappointments were sadly all too frequent, diminishing the overall charm and leaving us thoroughly underwhelmed. The check-in process was seamless, and we were graciously asked for our preferred turn-down service time – a detail that will be relevant later. Our room was as beautiful as the rest of the property, with a generous and thoughtful assortment of snacks welcoming us – organized by the diligent and professional Mary. We had chosen this hotel, persuaded in part by the allure of the butler service, an aspect which proved to be a hollow claim. Upon arrival, our butler, whilst confirming that we could have up to three items of clothing pressed free of charge when I asked him, curiously fell short of offering to fulfill this service. This nonchalant attitude extended to never offering to handle our luggage and when I asked if we could get some food to the room, the butler merely directed us to the phone and told us to call room service. In addition, some faulty room technology, promised by the butler to be tended to immediately by maintenance, remained unresolved throughout our stay. This encounter forced us to cast serious doubt on the legitimacy of referring to this as a 'butler' service and we didn’t bother him again. The turn-down service, regrettably, fell woefully short of the mark too. The first evening’s service was delayed to such an extent that we ended up crossing paths with the staff at our room’s door upon our return for the evening, a full hour late of the agreed-upon time. Consequently, no service that evening. The subsequent service wasn't a redemption, but a continuation of the underwhelming service we’d seen before: ignored wrappers, a disregarded jacket on the bed, and a bathrobe removed but not replaced. A nice touch was having the slippers laid out on a piece of cloth by the side of the bed, but this thoughtful gesture was inexplicably only extended to one of us. Unexpected at a hotel that stakes its reputation on quality and sophistication. The breakfast service was a further disappointment. While the quality of the food was excellent, and the venue a real beauty, the service was sorely lacking in professionalism. I placed an order for the English breakfast which, to my surprise, arrived incomplete - missing the customary toast. On enquiring about this omission, the server, rather than acknowledging the mistake, seemed insistent that toast was not part of the meal. Only after I presented her with the menu displaying the full breakfast contents, did she finally bring the toast to our table, without so much as an apology. Service throughout the two breakfasts was painfully slow and haphazard. The staff's sluggish response in clearing our table had us resorting to stacking our used dishes in the corner of the table, leading to a cluttered and uncomfortable dining experience. Furthermore, the staff asked us for our room number twice during the same sitting, a minor inconvenience that might be overlooked in a mid-market hotel, but is out of place in a hotel of this standing. The breakfast service was a far cry from the refined, uninterrupted experience we anticipated. Despite the undeniable beauty of the property and the quality of the cuisine, not to mention Mary's commendable efforts, the hotel's inability to provide competent housekeeping, butler service, and breakfast service is baffling. This glaring lack of refinement, particularly considering the fierce competition of top-tier hotels just around the corner, was a puzzling surprise. Reflecting on our experience, I can't help but feel that our next visit will be better served at one of these other esteemed hotels in the area, where my past experience suggests we’ll receive a service more aligned with our expectations.…
