Lady’s Review of the Baglioni Hotel in London

It’s a junior suite. Overlooking Hyde Park. In chi chi Kensington. It’s also my home for the night. The Baglioni Hotel in London is a five-star luxury hotel, and it’s my home for the night. Did I mention that already? I’m pinching myself.

Baglioni Hotel in London Review

The Baglioni Hotel is part of an Italian group of the same name. It’s also a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

The hotel invited me to stay the night in one of its rooms, and today I want to share my Baglioni Hotel in London review with you.

Baglioni Hotel in London Review: The Room

The room turned out to be a suite larger than my flat. Windows along one wall offered great views of Hyde Park, and the interior decor was done in dark wood with beige and jewel tone accents.

I settled in, enjoying the comfy sofa, getting good use out of the desk—it was a workday, after all—and loving the little vanity table by the bathroom and its comfy velvet-covered chair.

And speaking of the bathroom, it had lovely luxury cosmetics in pretty little bottles and enough fluffy robes and towels to keep me pampered for a month.

Baglioni Hotel in London Review: The Bar

I didn’t have much time for pampering, though. I had a group date downstairs at the Baglioni bar for drinks and canapes.

My group enjoyed creative cocktails and several rounds of moreish nibbles in a modified version of the traditional Italian aperitivo.

Baglioni Hotel in London Review: Breakfast

My main meal at the Baglioni Hotel in London was breakfast.

After a good night’s sleep, I started my morning at the buffet. It offered a spread consisting of everything from pastries and fruit to the full English breakfast.

The real highlight was the coffee, though. Leave it to the Italians to make me the best latte I’ve ever had.

After breakfast I got some work done in my room. The hotel offered me free WiFi, but normally there is a fee associated with it. I’m not a huge fan of that policy, especially at five-star luxury hotels in London, and it was the only disappointing thing about my stay. (Update: they now offer free WiFi).

Baglioni Hotel in London Review: The Spa

Before I checked out, I couldn’t resist a quick trip to the Baglioni Hotel spa. The staff kindly started up the steam room for me, and a few minutes later I was enveloped in a thick cloud of vapor.

It was a thicker cloud than I’m used to with steam rooms, but it still did the trick.

The Verdict

Relaxed, I wafted up to my room to pack my bags and say farewell. My stay at the Baglioni Hotel in London was a good one, and it was great to spend a night in spacious surroundings overlooking one of the city’s most famous parks.

The only downside was arriving home to the stark contrast of my own flat. But let’s not think about that.
