45 Park Lane (*****), pictured top, mixes both styles of hospitality perfectly. This 45 room boutique hotel overlooks Hyde Park but is linked to the Dorchester so guests can take advantage of the larger hotel’s services, including its world-famous spa. 45 Park Lane has got plenty of its own attractions too, such as CUT at 45, a Wolfgang Puck American-style steak restaurant. Rooms are Art Deco-influenced in their decor, with sleek lines enhanced by luxury details such as Bang & Olufson flatscreen TVs and marble bathtubs.

Brown’s in Albemarle Street, Mayfair
For a sense of history, it’s hard to beat Brown’s (*****), which first opened back in 1837 and has been the setting for many stories over the years, including being where The Jungle Book was finished and where Alexander Graham Bell made the world’s first ever telephone call. In fact, in each bedroom you’ll find carefully selected books relating to the history of the hotel. Light and fresh furniture and fabrics perfectly offset the original wood panelling and period details. There are stunning social spaces too, including the Donovan bar, hung with original Terence Donovan photographic prints, HIX Mayfair and a dedicated room for taking afternoon tea.
