Scene
Luxurious hotel with sleek, contemporary interiors housed in a circular tower
The Park Tower Knightsbridge hotel is a sight that leaves an impression: The futuristic circular tower rises above its neighbors and historic streets in the posh Knightsbridge neighborhood that brims with boutiques and designer shops. The circular structure is covered with a hive of panoramic bay windows, which afford every room a good view of the surrounding streets and skyline. Sleek and shiny modern interiors at this hotel include the spacious lobby, which is bedecked in silky, creamy hues and gleaming marble. A beautiful spiral staircase is the centerpiece of the structure and includes a glittering waterfall chandelier cascading down its center from a gold-hued ceiling. The surrounding circular walls are covered in a gorgeous cherry-tree pattern that delicately weaves its way up from the ground floor lounge. This lovely space is enveloped in the enchanting cherry blossom theme and correspondingly soft colors, and is filled with an array of contemporary couches and armchairs in muted hues.
Location
Central location in Knightsbridge amid luxury shops and department stores
The hotel is located off the busy Knightsbridge road, a bustling artery that runs through the prestigious Knightsbridge neighborhood, home to many luxury shops, as well as restaurants, bars, and clubs. The property is well-situated for the area's high-end shopping, with Harvey Nichols across the street and Harrods a five-minute walk away, and designer boutiques lining the adjacent streets. The nearest tube station is the Knightsbridge Station, which is a two-minute walk down the street, and there is also a bus stop serving several lines around the corner. Hyde Park is a block away, and Buckingham Palace is within a 15-minute walk. Other popular sights can be easily reached via public transportation, such as Big Ben (about 15 minutes), the British Museum (20 minutes), and the London Eye (20 minutes).
Rooms
Spacious, luxurious rooms and suites with great views and marble bathrooms
The spacious rooms and suites are decorated in a contemporary style, in soft, muted shades complemented by handcrafted caramel-colored wooden furniture. The overall effect is certainly high-end, if a tad unadventurous for some tastes. Luxurious beds come with high thread count linens and are framed by wooden headboards against curved walls covered in beige upholstery. Large windows fill the spaces with natural light, and given the building’s circular shape, all rooms offer lovely views over Knightsbridge, Hyde Park, and the city skyline. Amenities include flat-screen TVs with satellite channels and movies on demand, DVD players, iPod docks, minibars, and free Wi-Fi (though no tea- and coffee-making facilities -- common at London luxury hotels, where many guests prefer to have their tea and coffee delivered to the room). Gorgeous marble bathrooms have walk-in showers and soaking tubs, as well as high-end toiletries and fluffy bathrobes. Suites add separate living rooms, and many include added perks such as a free full English breakfast and butler service. Penthouse Suites provide even more luxuries, like bespoke art pieces, private bars, exercise bikes, and personal hot steam baths.
