London's best-known properties stand in Mayfair and Belgravia: Claridge's (from around 960 €), The Dorchester (1,080 €), The St. Regis London (1,040 €) and Rocco Forte's Brown's Hotel in Mayfair; The Peninsula London – at a straight 5.0 our highest-rated property in the city – the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park (4.9), The Lanesborough, the Jumeirah Carlton Tower and the new The Emory (1,150 €) in Belgravia and Knightsbridge, plus the Bvlgari Hotel London.
Westminster holds the properties closest to the palace – the Corinthia, Raffles London at The OWO, the Waldorf Astoria Admiralty Arch and The Goring – while Covent Garden has The Savoy and the NoMad London. In the City and on the south bank stand the Andaz Liverpool Street (4.8) and the Shangri-La at The Shard (4.5); in Marylebone, The Langham and The Landmark. The lowest entry rate in our portfolio is around 160 € per night, in Paddington.
Luxury hotel suites in London: choice, properties and prices
With 124 properties, London offers the widest choice of luxury suites in our portfolio – and the widest spread in what they cost.
Shangri-La at The Shard London · SouthwarkThe classic addresses to book a luxury hotel suite in London are in Mayfair and Belgravia: Claridge's, The Dorchester, The St. Regis London, The Peninsula London, the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park and The Lanesborough. These properties already start at 780 to 1,080 € per night for a room; suite categories sit above that.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comIt becomes considerably more accessible in Marylebone and the City: The Langham (from around 380 €), The Landmark (490 €), the Nobu Portman Square (390 €), the Andaz Liverpool Street (280 €) and the Pan Pacific London (540 €) all have suite categories of their own, at a fraction of Mayfair prices. A special case are the Grosvenor House Suites in Mayfair, which let suites and apartments exclusively.
On London luxury hotel suite prices: a reliable figure can only be given per property and per date, because London swings more sharply by weekday and event calendar than any other city in our portfolio. Our travel advisors obtain current suite rates for your chosen property directly from the hotel – including the categories that are never displayed online.
Insider tip from our travel advisors
The most effective lever in London is the day of the week: the city is a business and conference destination, so Tuesday to Thursday are the most expensive nights and weekends are often markedly cheaper – the gap is widest in the City and Canary Wharf, narrowest in Mayfair.
Second, London's loyalty landscape is worth a look: 48 of our 124 properties belong to no major chain, while iPrefer (12 properties), the Leaders Club (7) and GHA Discovery (5) are unusually well represented alongside Marriott Bonvoy (21). If you are a member of one of the smaller programmes, quote your number when booking.
Third: breakfast is the single most valuable benefit in London. In Mayfair and Belgravia it regularly runs to a high two-figure sum per person – across a multi-night stay for two, that item alone adds up noticeably.
5-star hotels in London by area: which district suits you?
London is vast, but its luxury hotels concentrate in a few districts in the west and centre – almost all of our properties sit between Hyde Park and the Tower.
Andaz London Liverpool Street · City of LondonThese seven areas cover the portfolio.
Mayfair – the classic address
With 20 properties, Mayfair is our densest London district and the most expensive part of the city: Claridge's (from around 960 €), The Dorchester (1,080 €), The Connaught (970 €), The Ritz London (950 €), The St. Regis London (1,040 €), Rocco Forte's Brown's Hotel (690 €), The Beaumont (620 €), the JW Marriott Grosvenor House (450 €), the COMO Metropolitan and the London Marriott Park Lane. Between Hyde Park, Bond Street and Piccadilly you stay as centrally as you pay.
Belgravia & Knightsbridge – the new summit
South of Hyde Park stand the properties that have reshaped London in recent years: The Emory (from around 1,150 €), The Peninsula London (910 €, rated 5.0), the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park (780 €, 4.9), The Lanesborough (780 €), the Jumeirah Carlton Tower (770 €) The Berkeley (980 €) and the Bvlgari Hotel London (930 €). More affordable here are the InterContinental Park Lane (340 €) and the Jumeirah Lowndes (330 €).
Westminster & St James's – between palace and parliament
Around Buckingham Palace and Whitehall: the Corinthia Hotel London (800 €), Raffles London at The OWO (870 €), the Waldorf Astoria Admiralty Arch (890 €), The Goring (490 €), the Taj 51 Buckingham Gate (540 €), The Stafford (520 €), the Sofitel London St James (330 €), the Conrad London St. James (270 €, 4.2) and The Rubens at the Palace (230 €).
Marylebone – central and sensible
North of Oxford Street lies the district with the best balance of location and price: The Langham (380 €), The Landmark (490 €), the Nobu Portman Square (390 €), the Hyatt Regency The Churchill (320 €), The BoTree (420 €), The Prince Akatoki (400 €), the Dorset Square Hotel (330 €) and the Holmes Hotel (240 €).
Covent Garden, Soho & Fitzrovia – theatre and nightlife
For theatre, restaurants and going out: The Savoy (540 €), the NoMad London (440 €, rated 4.7), One Aldwych (550 €), the Covent Garden Hotel (530 €) and St Martins Lane (280 €); in Soho the Hotel Café Royal (540 €), Ham Yard (690 €) and The Soho Hotel (630 €); in Fitzrovia The London EDITION (530 €), the Charlotte Street Hotel (550 €) and the Sanderson (280 €).
Kensington & Chelsea – quiet and green
The west is more residential and more affordable: Belmond The Cadogan (710 €), The Egerton House (510 €), The Milestone (500 €), The Franklin (370 €), the Knightsbridge Hotel (350 €), The Kensington (360 €) and Number Sixteen (290 €), the Chelsea Townhouse (320 €), plus Meliá London Kensington and 100 Queen's Gate (from around 170 and 190 €). The museums and Hyde Park are on the doorstep.
City, South Bank & the east – modern and affordable
For business trips and for travellers who can do without the address: the Andaz Liverpool Street (280 €, rated 4.8), the Pan Pacific London (540 €), The Westin London City (360 €), the Shangri-La at The Shard (580 €, 4.5) with the most spectacular view in the city, plus Sea Containers (240 €), the Bankside (320 €), Hyde London City (210 €) and The Dixon at Tower Bridge (180 €). Further east follow the art'otel Hoxton, Virgin Hotels Shoreditch and the Town Hall Hotel.
Boutique and design hotels in London
Alongside its grand hotels, London has perhaps the strongest boutique hotel scene in Europe – 48 of our 124 properties belong to no large chain but are independents or small groups.
The Londoner · Leicester SquareThe best-known signature is that of the Firmdale properties with their pattern-rich interiors: the Charlotte Street Hotel in Fitzrovia (from around 550 €), the Covent Garden Hotel (530 €), The Soho Hotel (630 €), Ham Yard (690 €), Number Sixteen (290 €) and the Knightsbridge Hotel (350 €) and the Haymarket Hotel (600 €).
The small properties in Chelsea and Kensington are classically British: The Egerton House, The Franklin, The Milestone, the Chelsea Townhouse and The Pelham. More design-led are The London EDITION in Fitzrovia, the Sanderson, St Martins Lane, L'Oscar in Holborn, Sea Containers on the south bank and the two art'otel properties in Hoxton and at Battersea Power Station.
They are also the city's most accessible addresses: while Mayfair starts at 450 €, several of these begin between 170 and 300 € per night – in central locations.
The highest-rated and the most expensive hotels in London
One property stands alone at the top of our ratings: The Peninsula London in Belgravia at a straight 5.0 – the only perfect score in our London portfolio.
It is followed by the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park (4.9), the Andaz London Liverpool Street (4.8), the NoMad London and the Jumeirah Carlton Tower (4.7 each), the Shangri-La at The Shard (4.5) and the InterContinental London Park Lane (4.4). Notably, the Andaz in the City and the NoMad in Covent Garden are mid-priced properties sitting right at the top – in London the best rating is not automatically the most expensive address.
On price, The Chancery Rosewood leads at around 1,200 € per night, followed by The Emory (1,150 €), The Dorchester (1,080 €), The St. Regis London (1,040 €), Claridge's (960 €) and the Bvlgari Hotel London (930 €). At the other end, the Inhabit Southwick Street in Paddington starts at around 160 €, the Hotel Indigo Clerkenwell and Meliá London Kensington at around 170 € and The Dixon at Tower Bridge at around 180 €.
The median entry rate is about 390 € per night. For six properties (including Dukes London, The Bloomsbury and The Hari) we currently show no entry rate; our travel advisors request those directly from the hotel.
Service, amenities and exclusive experiences
What makes a luxury hotel in London is less the fittings than the service – and in the traditional houses that is a discipline of its own: concierges with theatre, restaurant and tailoring contacts, butler floors, afternoon tea as an institution. At the properties known for it – Claridge's, The Savoy, The Lanesborough, The Goring, Brown's – it pays to register your wishes early: tables and tea reservations are taken weeks in advance.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThose reservations are exactly what our travel advisors arrange most often in London, along with West End theatre tickets and timed exhibition slots. And because London holds more properties than any other city in our collection, advice beforehand is worth more here than anywhere: two hotels in the same price bracket can differ enormously in room size and location.
As a suitespot guest you travel with VIP status: we register your preferences with the hotel before arrival – from a quiet floor to the occasion of your trip. On top of that, every property includes breakfast for two, an upgrade subject to availability and up to 100 USD hotel credit.
In London that is more than a bonus: in the more expensive properties, breakfast and credit together cover a substantial share of what would otherwise land on the final bill.

Frequently asked questions about luxury hotels in London
How much does a 5-star hotel in London cost?
Entry rates across our 124 luxury hotels in London start at around 160 € per night (Inhabit Southwick Street in Paddington) and reach about 1,200 € per night at The Chancery Rosewood. The median entry rate is around 390 € per night.
Two factors decide the price in London: the district – Mayfair and Belgravia routinely start between 450 and 1,000 €, while Kensington, the City and the east often start between 170 and 350 € – and the day of the week: as a business destination London is most expensive from Tuesday to Thursday, with weekends often markedly cheaper. With suitespot you always book at direct rates, and the benefits worth over 500 € come on top.
Which are the best luxury hotels in London?
By our ratings The Peninsula London in Belgravia leads at a straight 5.0 – the only perfect score in our London portfolio. It is followed by the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park (4.9), the Andaz London Liverpool Street (4.8), the NoMad London and the Jumeirah Carlton Tower (4.7 each) and the Shangri-La at The Shard (4.5).
Among the best-known addresses are also Claridge's, The Dorchester and Brown's in Mayfair, The Savoy in Covent Garden, the Corinthia and Raffles London at The OWO in Westminster, and The Lanesborough and The Emory in Belgravia.
Where should you stay in central London?
Mayfair is the classic and most expensive choice (Claridge's, The Dorchester, The St. Regis, Brown's), while Belgravia and Knightsbridge are the new summit (The Emory, The Peninsula, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, Bvlgari). For proximity to the palace, stay in Westminster (Corinthia, Raffles at The OWO, The Goring).
The best balance of location and price is Marylebone (The Langham, The Landmark, Nobu Portman Square); for theatre and nightlife, Covent Garden, Soho and Fitzrovia. It is quieter and considerably cheaper in Kensington and Chelsea, and cheapest in the City, on the South Bank and in the east.
Do I earn points and can I use my status when booking with suitespot?
Yes. suitespot rates are genuine direct rates: you earn regular points and status nights in the respective hotel programme – in London above all with Marriott Bonvoy (21 properties), iPrefer (12), the Leaders Club (7), World of Hyatt, ALL and GHA Discovery (5 each), IHG Rewards, Hilton Honors and Radisson Rewards (4 each).
A London peculiarity: 48 of our 124 properties belong to no major chain. There are no points there – but they are often precisely the properties with the most personal service. With smaller programmes such as iPrefer and the Leaders Club, quote your membership number when booking.
Which hotels in London have the best luxury suites – and what do they cost?
The classic suite addresses are in Mayfair and Belgravia: Claridge's, The Dorchester, The St. Regis London, The Peninsula London, the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park and The Lanesborough. These already start at 780 to 1,080 € per night for a room, with suite categories above that. A special case are the Grosvenor House Suites, which let suites and apartments exclusively.
Suites are considerably more accessible at The Langham (rooms from around 380 €), the Nobu Portman Square (390 €), the Andaz Liverpool Street (280 €) and the Pan Pacific London (540 €). Reliable suite prices can only be quoted per property and date – London swings sharply by weekday and event calendar. Our travel advisors obtain current rates directly from the hotel.
Are there small boutique and design hotels in London?
Yes – 48 of our 124 properties belong to no major chain. The best known are the Firmdale hotels with their characteristic pattern-rich interiors: the Charlotte Street Hotel, the Covent Garden Hotel, The Soho Hotel, Ham Yard, Number Sixteen, the Knightsbridge Hotel and the Haymarket Hotel.
The small properties in Chelsea and Kensington are classically British (The Egerton House, The Franklin, The Milestone, the Chelsea Townhouse, The Pelham), while The London EDITION, the Sanderson, St Martins Lane, L'Oscar, Sea Containers and the two art'otel properties are design-led. Many of them start between 170 and 300 € per night.
What luxury hotel amenities do I get in London through suitespot?
At every one of our 124 London properties you receive breakfast for two guests, a room upgrade subject to availability, early check-in and late check-out subject to availability and, at many properties, up to 100 USD hotel credit per stay – in addition to the regular points and status benefits of the respective programme.
In London that is more than a bonus: breakfast in Mayfair and Belgravia regularly runs to a high two-figure sum per person, so across a four-night stay for two this benefit alone covers a noticeable share of the extras. The exact inclusions for your chosen property are shown in the hotel overview – and our travel advisors confirm them before you book.
Which London hotel has the best view?
The most spectacular view belongs without question to the Shangri-La at The Shard: the hotel occupies floors 34 to 52 of Western Europe's tallest building and looks out over the whole city, the Thames and the City. It starts at around 580 € per night and, at 4.5, is one of our highest-rated properties in London.
Other addresses with a view include the Park Hyatt London River Thames in Nine Elms on the river, the London Marriott County Hall opposite Parliament and the properties on the South Bank. Because rooms with a view are limited at every property, register the request early – we pass it to the hotel before your arrival.
