Enter the new Pavilion Suites at The Berkeley: two fabulous new two-bedroom abodes at this Knightsbridge hotspot, both with wrap-around glass walls and huge terraces overlooking the rooftops of London.
Created by AFSO designer and architect Andre Fu – of The Upper House (Hong Kong) and The Fullerton Bay Hotel (Singapore) fame – both suites are understated and elegant, with muted tones and acres of marble spilling from the bathrooms.
Glass walls allow light to flood into the Crescent Pavilion, a 2,300 sq ft space made even more voluminous by the clever use of stained oak partitions, rather than solid walls, to define the transition between living areas: a dining space that seats eight; an 800-sq ft glasshouse; and a living room with views towards St. Pauls Church.
The dining room of the Grand Pavilion looks out to a garden terrace complete with fire pit and dry-stone walling, while the master bedroom has its own private terrace with views over the city. Minimal, modernist design continues in the living area, where Champagne gold teardrops spill down a decorative glass screen, and Fu-designed pendant lamps recall London’s iconic streetlamps.
Both $25,000-per-night suites grant their occupants access to the hotel’s Signature Service treatment, which includes private concierge, the use of a Burberry Trench Coat throughout their stay, access to an in-suite mixologist from the hotel’s Blue Bar, and dining from two Michelin-starred masterchef Marcus Wareing served in the suite.
