VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

London is renowned for its time-honored luxury hotels, and the Edwardian masterpiece that houses Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London is no exception.
Situated at the heart of the super-elite Knightsbridge district, bordered by Harrods, Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace, this one-time Victorian Gentleman’s Club now comprises 181 of the most luxurious rooms and suites in the city, two swishy restaurants, and a lavish spa.
Following a 2018 fire, the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star retreat briefly shuttered its doors, but the grande dame property used it as an opportunity to embark on the most extensive renovation of the hotel’s 117-year history.
In spring 2019, it reopened with reimagined guest rooms and suites. Noted designer Joyce Wang took inspiration in the luxury hotel’s Hyde Park surroundings and the early 20th century’s golden age of travel. Be sure to check out the Mandarin Oriental Penthouse, a new three-bedroom, three-bathroom space with its own dining room, two kitchens and park vistas. It ranks as one of the British capital's largest suites.
This London hotel has the high-end heritage and fine character to ensure it will remain one of the city’s favorite retreats for years to come.
