Bvlgari Hotel London: a new vision of luxury in the heart of posh London

Every Bvlgari Hotel venue dominates the very competing scene of luxury accommodation. Elegantly modern, yet not showy, refined in its design and worthy representative of the famous Italian mark, Bvlgari Hotel London also enjoys an ideal location in the very popular district of Knightsbridge, known for its top-of-the-range stores: Harrods’ stands right at the corner of the street, Harvey Nichols a little further and a multitude of boutiques lie in the vicinity. Hyde Park is also very close, as well as the West End, easily reachable by public transport.


The newly constructed building allowed architect-designer Antonio Citterio to give free rein to his vision of a singular hotel in the very heart of London, where glamour is expressed without excess: straight lines, brilliant black floors and columns, softened by curved walnut walls, furniture in dark leather and soft fabrics. The whole scenery is enlightened here and there by silver flashes, as a tribute to the jewellery brand heritage.

Bvlgari Suite VI

The heritage of an exceptional Maison in the service of a high-end reception

The 85 rooms and suites’ stylistic unit is only countered by the generous volumes, varying according to the room categories. There again, a discrete and cosy elegance is revealed in a beige and silver grey colour palette and, standing out as an additional subtle quotation to the jewellery world, Italian Damask fabric bedheads can be admired, inspired by the floral designs of a 19th-century brooch designed by Sotirio Bulgari.

Deluxe Room

The beautiful age of nautical trips is evoked in the soft-curved and brilliant white varnished furniture. Of course, all rooms feature the little and standard attentions typical of luxury hotels, among which Nespresso coffee machines and minibars, completed with a butler service for the suites. Sumptuous and roomy, the bathrooms are decorated with Marquina black marble and furnished with deep bath-tubs.

Junior Suite

Knightsbridge Suite

The eponymous Bvlgari suites – from 170 to 221 m2 – are worthy of mention and include a main en-suite room with a walk-in wardrobe, two living rooms (one with a fireplace), a bar, a dining room, a kitchen and an office. Small, soothing bubble in beautiful Knightsbridge, the long balcony is strewn with lanterns and comfortable couches. The dining room can accommodate up to 10 guests and the adjacent ultramodern kitchen has all the appliances a personal chef would need.

Exceptional spaces for outstanding services

A major part of Bvlgari Hotel is underground. Many hotel facilities are located on the five underground floors, namely the spa, a sprawling, yet still intimate complex. It includes massage rooms, saunas, hammams and relaxation areas, supplemented by a nearly 82-feet swimming pool, lined with canopy loungers, and a well-equipped fitness room with personal trainers at the hosts’ disposal. The specificity of this spa lies in its alternative care offer, with acupuncture, LED light therapy and osteopathy treatments, as well as  a number of facial care and personalized massages.


 
On these floors, the hotel’s meetings and events venues can also be found, with the splendid Ballroom ornated with chandeliers exclusively created by Padgham and Putland Silversmith for Bvlgari, as well as a luxurious 47-seat cinema.

The hotel’s only restaurant, the Sette, first Scarpetta restaurant venue in London, is located on the ground floor. Hosts are welcomed in a sensual and contemporary setting to savour a tasty Italian cuisine.

The hotel bar, Nolita Social, also nestled in the basement, is a dark and intimate space with a sophisticated cocktail menu and live music. Bvlgari Hotel guests can also indulge in rare Havanas, specialty of the Edward Sahakian cigar shop.

Since its opening in 2014, Bvlgari Hotel London made a real difference and broke the codes of London luxury hospitality. The location became one of the most luxurious of the capital by combining in a perfect symbiosis the prestigious and self-restrained English spirit with the chic and warm Italian nature.
