The epitome of old-world British glamour, this is our top pick of luxury stays in the capital. For experiencing aristocracy in a world-renowned setting, you won’t find better. However, if you’re not into extreme opulence and formal ambience, you’ll prefer elsewhere.

Piano notes follow as you head to the Secret Garden, where candle-lit meals and summer magic are served.
