1 9 8 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I W hen Jordana and I were planning our trip to London, we knew that it was a fantastic city: as you’ll read elsewhere in this section, we had scheduled in trips to the world-renowned department store Selfridges, the lovely Italian restaurant Babbo and Heston Blumenthal’s state of the art British cuisine at Dinner. But absolutely crucial to any trip is the hotel. Sometimes a hotel can just be somewhere you come at the end of each day, but we didn’t want that. We wanted a really great hotel, one that would be an integral part of an extravagant trip. So where did we choose? We’d stayed at London’s Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park before and we knew it was absolutely amazing. Mandarin Oriental is best defined as a family of individual hotels and resorts, each with their own distinct personality yet inherently linked to their exotic oriental roots. The luxury brand strives to delight guests by providing service that is gracious and sincere and steeped in the values of the orient. And on our last stay we recalled that the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park had been both sumptuous and welcoming. Luxurious English elegance With amazing views over the royal park and the chic shops of Knightsbridge, the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park is located at one of the most fashionable addresses in London. We remembered how the hotel had combined classic style with a contemporary twist to make it one of the capital’s most distinguished hotels, synonymous with luxurious English elegance. And when we arrived at this exceptional hotel once more, we were struck once again by its sheer opulence. We knew we could expect this, but we were still looking for something more - something really memorable. The Royal Option. First we were shown around the hotel’s Presidential Suite: with its own kitchen and dining room, opulent furnishings, luxury drapes and tall French Suitedreams: theMandarinOriental Hyde Park The timeless English elegance of the Royal Suite at the MandarinOriental Hyde Park has been renovated in a fresh contemporary style to create a trulymemorable experience.
