Jumeirah Carlton Tower, London
BACKGROUND
This iconic London hotel harks back to the early 1960s when it was known as The Carlton Towers and, managed by the Hotel Corporation of America, was the first five-star hotel to open in Knightsbridge. Since Jumeirah took over the property in 2001, the Dubai Holding company has become a firm favourite of business and leisure travellers from the region.
WHAT’S IT LIKE?
There’s an old-school elegance in the rich textiles and burnished colour palettes used throughout the entry level public spaces that segue to a more contemporary mood within the suites and the upper levels of the hotel. A glass lift elevator connects the lobby to the rooftop, including the vibrant space occupied by The Club Room, offering panoramic city views across the private Cadogan Gardens and beyond.
