The Peninsula London

The Peninsula London, the city’s first hotel development to exceed £1 billion in cost, is situated at the heart of the capital, overlooking Hyde Park and Wellington Arch. Now open after a thirty-five year search by Sir Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, owner of The Peninsula Hotels group, the property offers a unique East-meets-West dialogue, a fleet of signature green Rolls-Royces, London’s largest suite, and a rooftop restaurant and bar with sweeping panoramic views unlike any the city has ever seen. Photographer Oliver Pilcher captures it all for us, revealing why this is one of the globe’s most anticipated hotel openings of the past decade.
