The Berkeley Hotel

The Berkeley is part of The Savoy Group of Hotels & Restaurants, a collection of England's most distinguished and individual hotels and restaurants.

The Berkeley formerly stood at the corner of Piccadilly and Berkeley Street on the edge of Mayfair at the turn of the 19th century, bearing the name of the street on which it stood. With good proximity to Mayfair the hotel became a popular venue for debutantes.The Restaurant in particular was one of the few places where parents would allow their daughters to go unchaperoned, as they reasoned that the staff would keep an eye on them and their escorts.

The Berkeley overlooks Hyde Park and is within easy reach of Knightsbridge and London's famous stores. It is moments from many of London's acclaimed museums and landmarks.The hotel is situated on the corner of Wilton Place and Knightsbridge.

Florist: From a small flower shop opened in 1991, Kally Ellis and Ercole Moroni have built McQueens into one of today’s leading creative florists, boasting accounts such as Vanity Fair’s Oscar party. The Berkeley is a long-standing client of McQueens and acts as both a showcase and ambassador for their creative talent.

Petrus: This highly acclaimed restaurant from Michelin star chef Marcus Wareing opened at The Berkeley in September 2003. The restaurant design is by David Collins who has incorporated colours of rich burgundy and deep claret with intimate attention to detail, to create theatrical environment of consummate elegance.There is also an intimate private room and a chef's table for guests to watch the action of the kitchen.

Boxwood: Gordon Ramsay's Boxwood Café opened at The Berkeley in April 2003, and is his take on the upscale New York café scene. Los Angeles designer Barbara Barry has created a relaxing, sophisticated environment in greens, browns and delicate tea-leaf paper.

The Caramel Room: The name reflects the design by New York designer Alexandra Champalimaud who matches subtle low-lighting with chocolate coloured wall coverings and snappy faux-crocodile fabrics, creating a sexy, discreet ambience in which to pass the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with Illy Gourmet Coffee and miniature doughnuts are all on the menu.

The Blue Bar: This small, yet perfectly formed bar was a labour of love for renowned interior designer David Collins when he transformed a dated side-room by period British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens into the now eponymous Blue Bar. Cherubic friezes now look down on faux ostrich leather stools and a black crocodile-print floor as London’s glitterati are served perfect cocktails over a white onyx bar. Favourite cocktails in The Blue Bar are the signature Berkeley Champagne Cocktail and the sublime Ginger Cosmopolitan.

The Blue Bar Album: Music has always been a key element in the Blue Bar's appeal. The cool, atmospheric sounds have helped to generate the relaxed mood that the Blue Bar has become known. This is the concept behind the 3 CDs of The Blue Bar album - a selection of some of the tracks you can hear in the bar and also a selection of some of the best music around at the moment.Ranging across three main genres - Chilled beats, World Music & Jazz and Deep House, and bringing together timeless tracks from each style, the mixes nclude several tracks completely exclusive to the album as well as some less-heard gems dug for the vaults.
