Here’s the weirdest, funniest fact: the building used to be an insurance office. Yes, the place where billionaires now wash their silk pajamas once housed actuaries arguing about life expectancy. Talk about a glow-up. Imagine the ghost of a 1950s accountant haunting the spa. “Excuse me, madam, your premium is due.”
Also, the concierge isn’t just a concierge. They’re basically a secret agent. Need a last-minute ticket to the Royal Opera House? Done. Want a private tour of a Bentley factory? They’ll arrange it. They can probably find you a decent cup of tea at 3 a.m., which is the real superpower.
And the spa! It’s called “The Spa” (very creative) but it’s like a subterranean temple of calm. They use products from ESPA, which smells like money and unicorn tears. The pool is lit with fairy lights, and the steam room is basically a posh fog machine. You’ll leave smelling like a forest after a £200 bath.

Food? Oh, the Food!
The on-site restaurant is Gordon Ramsay’s lucky cousin—actually, it’s run by the folks behind a Michelin-starred place. Breakfast is a wild affair. You can order a full English breakfast, or a durian smoothie (yes, that stinky Asian fruit). I dare you to try it. The butler will hide his grimace.
Here’s the best part for lazy people: the in-residence dining. You literally never have to leave your suite. They bring you anything from a cheese board to a seven-course tasting menu. The waiters sneak in so quietly, you’ll think you have a ghost chef. It’s magical, or deeply unsettling—your call.
