London in the summer, only with Maybourne

A Sweet Escape in a Dreamy Suite at The Berkeley, Claridge’s, and The Connaught

This summer, GCC residents are invited to discover the epitome of luxury with unforgettable stays at Maybourne’s most-loved London properties – The Berkeley, Claridge’s and The Connaught.

With spacious suites providing the perfect home-away-from-home stays and sweet moments to be savoured within each hotel’s in-house patisserie, guests can spend summer days exploring the renowned capital before returning to timeless charm and comfort.

The Berkeley: Elevated Family Time

Set within the vibrant heart of London, between the red bricks of Knightsbridge and affluent Belgravia, The Berkeley combines contemporary design and thoughtful touches in an awe-inspiring atmosphere. Join The Berkeley’s 10am club and avail an early check-in upon arrival, before heading to a beautifully light-drenched suite with stunning interiors by A-list designers to rest and recharge.  

Welcome sunny days at The Berkeley Rooftop pool, exclusive to hotel guests only, with its unrivalled views of Knightsbridge, charming Belgravia, and Hyde Park’s treetops. Families are welcome to cool off with The Berkeley’s soft serve machine, which will dispense fresh ice cream flavours throughout the season. From July 2024, a new Mexican-inspired menu and refreshing cocktails will be on offer on the rooftop. Indulge in a trio of tacos and a “make your own guacamole”, the highlights of the new menu, whilst lounging by the glistening swimming pool.

For an afternoon indulgence, take a front row seat at The Chef’s Counter in Cedric Grolet’s Patisserie, and sample a curated tasting menu of whimsical creations, a true feast for the senses. The new, limited-edition, summer menu includes a series of the trompe-l’œil signatures that has made the pâtissier famous, including creative interpretations of peaches, strawberries and almonds.

Families looking to elevate their summer holiday can check into a one-bed suite and receive a complimentary second room, or 50% off a second room with any other room reservations. While grown-ups plan their London adventure over a bottle of chilled champagne, little ones can browse the selection of in-room movies and game consoles or make their way through a selection of specially prepared welcome treats.

Each day begins with a full English breakfast before exploring the hotel’s neighbourhood gems, from scrumptious picnics in Hyde Park or choosing a new toy at Harrods, just a few steps away to embarking on a fun-filled spin around the city on The Berkeley’s fleet of scooters and bikes.

Claridge’s: Mayfair in the Summertime

There is a certain magic that can be felt in the air as summer descends upon London, nowhere more so than Claridge’s, one of the city’s most beloved landmarks. A beacon of quintessential English service and contemporary glamour, the Mayfair hotel is a mere stone’s throw from London’s sights, sounds and shopping, with its collection of beautifully appointed rooms and signature suites providing a spacious base for discovering all the renowned city has to offer.

Open for its first-ever season, The Terrace at Claridge’s Restaurant is the epitome of elevated al fresco dining, where secluded rendezvous in the warm summer breeze awaits. Discreetly tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet embodying the sophisticated energy of Mayfair, the street-level terrace features a specially curated dining menu that celebrates the ingredients and flavours of the season, perfect for long summer lunches, afternoon sips and intimate dinners.

New dishes on the terrace vary from English asparagus with a rich hazelnut and truffle vinaigrette, Severn and Wye smoked salmon with sour cream, capers and soda bread, to a daily changing trio of savoury crumpet options. Chef’s favourites include Crab and apple, Lobster cocktail, Sauce Vierge and crispy lemon, and Lardo with truffled honey, with the selection evolving throughout the summer in line with the best quality ingredients of the season.

Meanwhile, Claridge’s Spa continues to serve as an epicentre of wellness, showcasing healing rituals, restorative body work and the latest bio-innovation to amplify emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Immerse yourself in the intimate, electrolyte-rich relaxation pool designed by André Fu, or book in with a best-in-class list of resident brands such as Josh Wood, Augustinus Bader and Facegym. Visiting Wellness experts for summer 2024 include Facialist Hadda Akrim and Omorovicza, which has created a treatment inspired by Hungarian bathing culture.
