Kartoadd

Rooms on the first six floors are classic Parisian, while the seventh floor recently unveiled a transformation that showcases Art Deco design by Bruno Moinard and Claire Bétaille. But whichever room you stay in, sumptuous fabrics and furnishings are a given.

A serene sanctuary in a bustling city, the 214-room hotel has an accommodating staff and well-appointed rooms, with details like celadon-finished showers and silk-covered furniture. The lotus ponds and manicured courtyards are also worth exploring.

Breathtaking views are standard at this hotel, which occupies 19 floors of Renzo Piano's dramatic glass skyscraper in Southwark. Rooms are luxuriously appointed with stellar service, and the four restaurants offer high-end dining experiences seemingly amid the clouds on the 52nd floor.
