"Reopened in December 2005 after a $30 million–plus overhaul, its future is now as bright as its past."
Fodor's

Request one of the refurbished rooms; some of the older units are looking a little tired.

"The Berkeley's Knightsbridge location... has firmly established it as one of the most fashionable hotel addresses in London."

"Convenient for Knightsbridge shopping, the very elegant Berkeley is known for its renowned restaurants and luxuries that culminate—literally—in a splendid penthouse swimming pool."
