Four Seasons Park Lane
London

Opulent and palatial, the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane is incredibly luxurious. You are minutes away from Hyde Park, Knightsbridge's shops, Mayfair's restaurants and galleries and can walk to a number of London's sites including Apsley House, Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard. Since re-opening after a two year complete refurbishment a new 10th floor has been added to the hotel which boasts a spa, rooftop lounge and fitness centre, all with incredible views over London from the London Eye, BT Tower, Gherkin to the newly added Shard building. Working out or getting a pedicure doesn't come with a better view anywhere in the city. Rooms are light, spacious and contemporary and come with lots of storage, slick marble bathrooms and London inspired art-work. The lobby is the perfect place to while away a couple of hours in the evening enjoy fireside cocktails to the sound of the grand piano while just a few steps away continue on for dinner at the hotel's signature Italian restaurant, Amaranto. Dimmed lighting and moody red interiors makes for an atmospheric dining experience and the wine list is excellent.

I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list.
