n
a city where even the best
hotels have a decidedly " let's not rock the boat"
ambience, Blakes Hotel is a standout.
Created
by Anouska Hempel, the London hotelier and internationally renowned
designer, the hotel has become an international magnet for the world's
business & cultural elite.
Architectural
Digest has honored Ms. Hempel's incomparable bedrooms, each a fantasy
of antiques, rare silks and velvet as well as the adventurous Blakes
Restaurant, one of London's best.
"For
those who can muster up the strength to escape from Blakes'
opulent clutches, there is plenty to do in the South Kensington
area and the retail extravaganza of Oxford, Regent and Bond streets
is short cab ride away, but the more villagey area closer to hand
probably gives you more flash for your cash. The chic Brompton Cross
area where Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Joseph, Paul Smith and other designer
boutiques cluster around elegant restaurants such as Daphne's and
Bibendum, is a 10 minute stroll down the road, Harrods and Harvey
Nichols are just beyond that.
If
you want to feel like a film star for a weekend, or a bond girl/007
himself, then Blakes, with its superb suites and serious service,
is the place for you. If there were ever a hotel for a lost weekend,
then this, most definitely, is it.
"Personal
Butler" Service
We have also introduced a personal butler service. You can now ask
to have a personal butler at your beck and call throughout your
stay, to do everything for you from unpacking to running your bath!
