The Berkeley Review

The elegant Berkeley is known for luxuries that culminate—literally—in a splendid penthouse swimming pool and include spacious bedrooms, decorated with William Morris prints and art deco flourishes, and lavish marble bathrooms. Restaurants include Marcus Wareing's high-class Pétrus; Pierre Koffman's eponymous "Koffmanns"; the eclectic and sumptuous Blue Bar (popular with celebrities); and the whimsical Caramel Room, where morning coffee and decadent doughnuts are served to well-groomed ladies who look as if they've never eaten such a thing in their lives. In winter the roof terrace becomes a deliciously festive open-air cinema showing Christmas movies, complete with blankets, hot water bottles and hot chocolate. It's open to nonresidents for £55.
