For the traveler on the go between business meetings, stop overs in Europe, and event coverage, finding the right hotel room can be a tricky gambit. A spacious suite may be great for long, relaxing trips, but feel superfluous for the traveler on the go. A tiny room can just get stuffy and claustrophobic. In a massive, bustling city like London, the Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel has found a perfect, practical balance between luxury and functionality that has travelers racing to reserve rooms.
Guestrooms at the Lowndes, Jumeirah’s hotel in the high-end neighborhood of Knightsbridge in London, are built to serve. The locale of the hotel overall is in a posh neighborhood mere blocks from Harrod’s and aligned perfectly with tons of designer shops and boutiques along Sloan Street around the corner. For those coming to and from other areas of the city, the Knightsbridge Underground Station and South Kensington Stations are perfectly within reach to carry anyone either to Eastern and Central London or to the airports and Paddington Station. Don’t let terms like “practical” or “functional” fool you though, this is an immaculate, high end hotel ready to outfit luxury in every regard, simply on a different spectrum side of the term. For those looking for broad spaces, large suites, and a room with a view reaching all the way to St Paul’s Cathedral, the Jumeirah Carlton Tower is located just around the corner. The Carlton Tower also is home to many of the amenities that those staying at the Lowndes have access to: spa, pool, fitness center, etc. The Lowndes Hotel offers a different view of London for travelers—the hotel feels more immersed in the city. Guestrooms may not reach across the city skyline, but rather offer views of a scenic London courtyard, a positively more British experience that one could feel looking over the horizon. The rooms don’t make a fuss of ornate furnishings or décor options, but add plush features where it counts like in bedding, room service, and shower toiletries.
For all the hospitality options London has to offer, Jumeirah has announced itself as a premiere name for the city. While the Carlton Tower offers a room that feels hard to leave with specious seating, breathtaking views, and a luxurious lifestyle, the Lowndes Hotel offers something the Carlton Tower doesn’t. Staying at the Lowndes gives the traveler an aide in experiencing London, with a plush pad to return to at night. For those looking to go out, see the city, and wake up the next day well rested, this is our choice for where to stay.
