A Luxurious Escape in the Heart of Central London: The Corinthia Hotel
Every year, I make frequent trips to London to visit with Creative Partners, and although the city is full of inspiration and excitement, I never seemed to find just the right hotel. This past December, I asked my dear friend Sara Haywood for a luxury hotel recommendation, and she immediately replied, ‘Sade, I know what you like, and you are going to love Corinthia!’
From the moment I checked into Corinthia, I was absolutely wowed by the grandeur and attention to detail that make this luxury hotel unlike any other. I found precisely what I was looking for on my travels: a home away from home in London. The service was AMAZING!
From the breathtaking Grand Ballroom (the perfect spot for a wedding!), to magnificent penthouse views, the luxury ESPA Spa and Mediterranean-inspired meals, Corinthia does it all with style, finesse- and unprecedented service. Did I mention that there is even a mini Harrods, one of my absolute favorite stores?!
The Penthouse suites have some of the most magnificent views in London, and include The Royal Penthouse, The Musician’s Penthouse, The Whitehall Penthouse and The Actor’s Penthouse, among others. For £14,000 per night ($23,000), Corinthia experience simply cannot be topped.
ESPA Life at Corinthia offers an inspired approach to wellness which embraces fitness, nutrition and luxurious spa treatments from some of the world’s most renowned professionals. Features include a steam room, ice fountain, hammam and extensive amphitheatre sauna. Rose Crystal Therapy, IPL skin rejuvenation and potent detox programs are offered… it’s relaxing just to think of it all!
A sumptuous array of fine dining completes life at Corinthia. From the Massimo Restaurant and Oyster Bar and British-inspired bites at The Northall to bespoke concoctions by skilled mixologists at the Bassoon Bar, each and every option is tantalizing. Interested in dining or having a cocktail al fresco? Then The Courtyard is your spot. A lovely location for summer tea, as well! Simply want to relax with a glass of Champagne or have an aperitif? Then The Northhall Bar is just the spot.
I cannot keep from gushing about the luxury and sophistication of Corinthia! When in London, it has become my go-to for a remarkably relaxing and refined experience, and I recommend it become yours as well, without the slightest reservation! Just imagine what a glorious backdrop this elegant, yet contemporary venue would make for your London nuptials… any takers?
