One of the hotel’s standout features is its rooftop pool, which remains one of the most iconic hotel pools in London. Set high above the city with lovely views across Knightsbridge, Belgravia, and towards Hyde Park, it gives The Berkeley a lifestyle feel that is still relatively rare among luxury hotels in central London. In the warmer months, the rooftop becomes even more of a destination, with its stylish seasonal rooftop bar concept and a distinctly glamorous atmosphere that adds another layer to the stay. It is a major part of what gives the hotel its social energy and makes it especially attractive for travelers who want a luxury London hotel with both wellness and a sense of scene. The Berkeley’s wider facilities, including access to Surrenne Belgravia, also reinforce that strong lifestyle focus.
Another major draw is Cedric Grolet’s presence at the hotel. The Berkeley is home to Cedric Grolet’s first patisserie outside France, making it a particularly fun address for guests who appreciate fashion, food, and a little buzz around the hotel. His counter and pastries have become part of The Berkeley’s identity, bringing a more playful and contemporary culinary element to the property and adding to the sense that this is one of London’s most stylish hotels rather than simply a classic place to stay. Combined with the hotel’s polished interiors, lively restaurants and bars, and excellent Knightsbridge location, it helps create a hotel that feels very current while still delivering the service and comfort expected from Maybourne.
The Berkeley is therefore ideal for travelers looking for a luxury hotel in London that combines a prime location, a rooftop pool, strong dining, and a more contemporary Maybourne feel.
Book The Berkeley, Maybourne through Sojournelle to enjoy preferred partner VIP recognition, exclusive amenities, and additional benefits that can make your stay even more rewarding from arrival to departure.
