The elegant Berkeley successfully mixes the old and the new in a luxurious, modern building with a splendid penthouse swimming pool. The big bedrooms have either swags of William Morris prints or art deco touches. All have sitting areas, CD players, and big marble bathrooms. There are spectacular penthouse suites with their own conservatory terraces, and others with saunas or balconies. Dining venues include Marcus Wareing's high-class Pétrus restaurant, Gordon Ramsay's excellent and extremely popular Boxwood Café, the eclectic and sumptuous Blue Bar (which Madonna reportedly "adores"), and the whimsical Caramel Room where morning coffee and decadent doughnuts are served to slim ladies who look as if they've never eaten such a thing in their lives.
