I spend so much of my time drooling over stunning hotels and vacation rentals, that I thought it would be fun to feature a different property each week here on the blog. They may be ones I have booked for clients recently or just places that have caught my eye. Feel free to pass along a favorite of yours to be featured in upcoming posts!
I recently booked the Berkeley in London for a lovely family traveling to London with four young children – I think it is a perfect choice for them but it also would be ideal for just about anyone.
Overlooking Hyde Park, the location of the Berkeley is hard to beat,

Two of the
city’s finest restaurants, Marcus and Koffmann’s, are just
downstairs, and the hotel’s Blue Bar is legendary.
Active kids can blow off steam while their parents relax by the rooftop swimming pool, with a retractable roof offering year round swimming.
Insider tip:
The fashionistas’ afternoon tea, Prêt-à-Portea, is served in the
Caramel Room and follows the latest fashion trends.
If you book the Berkeley through me, I can offer Virtuoso amenities as follows: Continental breakfast for up to two in-room guests, a 60 GBP food and beverage credit, upgrade on arrival if available, and early check-in/late check-out if available.
And, through February 2016, they are offering a stay three, get the fourth night free…you can’t beat that!
Is London calling your name? Let me know! In addition to Virtuoso amenities at all the very top hotels in town, I have some excellent on the ground resources offering VIP access to the best of London and I would love to share them with you!

Looks beautiful, the decor is gorgeous and very "Barbara Barry-ish". Always good to know about a new and tempting place….gets the travel bug in me thinking:)
You always take us to the most posh, lovely and dreamy places, Sandy! London, what a treat that would be, and my husband and I want to make it out there soon. ENJOY YOUR DAY!
It's like home away from home, I will definitely keep you in mind Sandy! Have a great weekend!
Hi Sandy,
Playing catch up!!!! I adore the Berkeley! When our family stayed there a few summers ago, it was everything we had hoped for and more. I talked my boys into having the Fashionista Tea with me and Grant and I started each night at the Blue Bar. One highlight I had not expected was when the horses that being trained for the Changing of the Guard clomped down the street in front of the hotel at breakfast. They take the horses through the park and then want them to get experience around people and cars. It was just one of many magical moments. And, the staff couldn't have been better in every regard!!!! Lucky family that is headed there.
