In this super chic restaurant art deco meets Shanghai nights, providing the most magical and lively backdrop while you indulge in fabulous cocktails and the finest dim sum.

An impressive and elegant hotel overlooking Hyde Park, bedrooms and suites are appointed to the highest standard, many with unrivalled views. Irish linen sheets and goose down pillows add to the luxury. There is a good choice of dining options—the Park Restaurant offers light, brasserie-style dishes, the sophisticated Foliage restaurant serves award-winning modern European cuisine, and the fashionable Mandarin Bar is good for light snacks and cocktails until late. The stylish spa is a destination in its own right, with booking essential. The nearby Berkeley hotel (7235 6000 www. maybournegroup.com) has one of the chicest bars in London, The Blue Bar, a Madonna favourite and designed by the infamous Mr David Collins. Go. But make sure you dress up and look the business.
