Review: Hotel 41

This former ballroom, located on the fifth floor of a brick-and-limestone Georgian building near St. James's Park, comprises just 30 rooms and suites, with contemporary black-and-white interiors, rich carved mahogany, and black leather furnishings. Order room service under the Conservatory Suite’s glass roof and make the most of the Penhaligon's beauty products. Downstairs, settle down by the fire before sampling the whiskey selection in the intimate wood-paneled Leopard Bar. Upstairs, locate the private rooftop bar for a tipple or check out the equally private and beautiful cinema. Hotel 41 is luxury fit for a queen—appropriate as it’s opposite Buckingham Palace—but it’s the rooms with their exquisite Savoir beds that make it perfect for the perfect night's sleep.
