"Discreet and rejuvenated hotel with rooftop pool and opulently decorated bedrooms."
Frommer's

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

"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."

Ask for a room at the rear of the hotel -- they back onto a quiet square.

"Almost best of all, the rates are (for London) way low."

"The dizzying five-story atrium, Art Deco staircase, and slick European restaurant hint at the delights to come in this converted warehouse."
