The palatial, Edwardian-style Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park certainly fits the neighborhood, which includes Buckingham Palace, Royal Albert Hall, and Harrods in London's fashionable Knightsbridge district. Each of the hotel's 198 luxury guest rooms and suites features one-of-a-kind Victorian decor, with flat-screen TV, iHome stereo, high-speed Internet, and such distinctive touches as Irish linens, goose-down pillows, and live orchids.

For sheer elegance, meeting planners find the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park hard to beat, with six opulent function rooms for business meetings and corporate events, including the 400-capacity Ballroom.
