This exquisite hotel is near Hyde Park and shopping destinations like Sloane Street, Harvey Nichols, and Harrods. In addition to its prime location, guests can easily explore cultural and historical landmarks like the Royal Albert Hall and the Victoria and Albert Museum, just a short stroll away.
More impressively, Bulgari Hotel London beautifully honours Bulgari’s silversmith heritage and the noble manufacturing traditions of Britain through its sophisticated and refined design concept. The underlying theme of silver gracefully permeates the entire aesthetic, reflecting Bulgari’s legacy.

Options had the opportunity to stay in Bulgari Hotel London’s Bulgari Suite, the hotel’s largest and most luxurious suite.

Suite dreams
The Bulgari Suites offer an inviting residential ambience that sets them apart. While sharing the same impeccable interior design, each lodging boasts a unique layout, with some featuring open gas fireplaces that infuse warmth and charm. Two suites are further enhanced by expansive terraces on the hotel’s sixth floor, providing an idyllic outdoor space.
I also found the suite I stayed in — Bulgari VII — to be ideal for families. While it includes one bedroom, there is the option to book the adjacent connecting room, allowing for an expanded space to accommodate larger groups. Beyond the luxurious bedroom and bathroom, there was also a powder room, a study room, a living room, a cosy sitting area by the fireplace, a dedicated dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, a convenient laundry room and a balcony. This comprehensive range of amenities also means guests can enjoy a refined home away from home during their stay at Bulgari Hotel London.
