Bvlgari Hotel London is an 85-room luxury hotel in Knightsbridge, London, United Kingdom, a short walk from Harrods and Hyde Park. It occupies an entirely new building among the neighborhood’s traditional architecture, with a Portland stone facade that connects it to major London landmarks. Architect Antonio Citterio and ACPV Architects shape the interiors around clean lines, generous volume, and a distinctly Italian reading of contemporary luxury. Rooms are spacious and polished rather than theatrically ornate, with the house’s jewelry heritage expressed through materials and detail.
The Bvlgari Lounge provides all-day dining in an Italian salon setting, with Executive Chef Adriano Cavagnini focusing on Italian classics. The spa is the hotel’s most substantial amenity: its 25-meter private pool runs beneath colonnades clad in Vicenza stone, with loungers and cabanas, while the wider program includes advanced treatments, bespoke training, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and dry float therapy. Courteous, professional service is a consistent part of the proposition, though individual reviews are not uniformly glowing. With three MICHELIN Keys, a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rating for 2026, and a La Liste score of 97.5, it suits travelers seeking central London access, serious wellness facilities, and restrained Italian glamour.
