To Londoners and visitors to the capital, Knightsbridge is Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and high-end shopping. London slips into place the sleek and shiny Bulgari Hotel comfortably with its famous silversmith and jewelry pedigree and style. 

This 5-star luxury hotel, in an entirely new architect-designed building, provides guests with opulent modern accommodation in the historic heart of London.

Location

The resort is centrally close to the high-end stores and boutiques of Knightsbridge. Besides, it is within walking distance of museums in South Kensington. 

Nearby Hyde Park, one of London's four royal parks, has 350 acres of beautiful tree-lined walks, lawns, a lake, and abundant flora. Horse riding has also been a popular pastime here for generations. 

Other activities include boating on the Serpentine Lake, cycling, and tennis. There is a children’s fun time in an excellent play area.

Taxis abound near the big stores, and the vast London Underground system covers the whole city. Moreover, you can easily reach West End shops, theatres, clubs and restaurants, and famous sights from the hotel. Besides, all London airports connect to central London by Underground and rail.

Style

With the Bulgari name, visitors might expect plenty of bling, but the style is reserved and elegant, hard-edged with many silver touches. Public spaces and rooms feature dark leather seating and black shiny floors. 

Furthermore, plush velvety-napped fabrics and polished wood soften the décor. Comfort is also sure with every modern amenity plus a lavish spa, swimming pool, and outstanding gym. Besides, most of the facilities are underground, giving guests a sense of subterranean peace.

The Rooms. Superior, Deluxe, and Executive

The 85 rooms and suites of the Bulgari vary little in classy décor and high-quality amenities. They are all above ground level, uniformly spacious, silvery-toned, and stylish. The rooms also differ mainly in size from 40-46 square meters. All feature big comfortable king-size or two queen-sized beds backed by the Bulgari signature thread headboards imitating one of their brooch jewelry patterns. 

Another Bulgari pattern is used for the rich grey flock velvet drapes. Moreover, black and white-veined Marquina marble bathrooms are roomy and luxurious with deep tubs and showers.

The Suites. Junior, Studio, and Deluxe

The suites have all the same features/decor of the rooms. However, they also come with additional space, add-on rooms, and more gorgeous silver-grey plush sofas and seating. Plus, sizes go up to 80 square meters. Besides, some have dining areas and private butler service. 

Special Suites. Knightsbridge and Bulgari

Knightsbridge has wide views over Hyde Park's greenery, dining, living rooms, finely carved wood features, and 24-hour private butler service. The décor also has a nautical theme to give the impression of enjoying a stay on a luxury yacht. 

The 7 swish Bulgari suites range in size from 170-221 square meters. Features include master bedrooms with silver furnishings and master bathrooms with combined steam and shower rooms. There are also additional rooms and beds, kitchens, and dining for 10 guests. 

Some have fine views of the park. Others have fireplaces, shining floors with sumptuous soft matting, and luxurious marble bathrooms. Likewise, all special suites have balconies or lantern-lit terraces with deeply comfortable loungers.

Indoor Pool, Spa, and Gym

A huge and opalescent 82 ft pool is one of the pride of the hotel. The Bulgari jewelry heritage is evident here in the gold and sea-green mosaic and the vitality pool completely lined with gold-leaf. 

The pool has underwater loungers and massage jets for total rejuvenation after shopping trips or business meetings. Guests can also relax on 4-poster poolside beds.

Sitting below Sette restaurant, Nolita Social is another NYC-inspired fashionable place for a mix of crafted cocktails, spirits, and live music. Dark and trendy, Nolita has a special license to open until late, so it attracts locals and hotel guests.

Staycation

Enjoying holidays and free days close to home has had a resurgence in recent times. London has a great deal to offer staycationers as well as overseas visitors. 

The Bvlgari Hotel London offers several packages for staycationers to experience. These include family stays, fitness, health and beauty getaways, and shoppers’ trips. Besides, 10% of the proceeds from these packages go to a corporate philanthropy fund.

Takeaway

This modern, sophisticated hotel runs smoothly with discreet, helpful, and efficient staff from reception to concierge, housekeeping, and butler services. Many events in the city, ‘difficult to get’ theater and entertainment tickets can all be arranged from the hotel. 

Children are welcomed, and families are encouraged. The Bvlgari Spa, pool, gym, restaurant, and bar are all well-loved and used by Londoners and hotel guests. This is a testament to the Bulgari's success, still regarded as a newcomer to the London hotel scene but surely here to stay.
