The Iconic Lanesborough Hotel in London to Become Latest Masterpiece in the Oetker Collection

With its exceptional central location, The Lanesborough overlooks Hyde Park Corner near Buckingham Palace and has been closed since the end of 2013 for complete renovation. It has 93 rooms and suites as well as a spa and extensive dining options.

Under Oetker Collection management, The Lanesborough will re-open as a masterpiece hotel in spring 2015. The renovation will embody the signature style that has become synonymous with The Lanesborough over its long history, created by late interior designer Alberto Pinto.

Guests will enjoy an exquisite and refined dining experience at Apsleys from breakfast to dinner, without forgetting the legendary Lanesborough Afternoon Tea. Next to Apsleys, the Withdrawing Room and the Library bar house the “Liquid History”, a collection of vintage cognacs, some of which are over 200 years old. Tucked away at the rear of the hotel, guests will discover the Garden Room, the first and most luxurious cigar terrace in Knightsbridge and the best cigar lounge in London. The Lanesborough offers seven individually designed private dining rooms, the largest accommodating 180 guests for a reception.

Oetker Collection owns and manages eight hotels worldwide, in addition to The Lanesborough – Le Bristol Paris, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Chateau Saint-Martin & Spa, Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa, Eden Rock - St. Barths, Fregate Island Private, Palais Namaskar, and L’Apogée Courchevel. Villa Stephanie at Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa will open in January 2015.
