A superior night’s sleep
Madonna, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey have all stayed at the Lanesborough. Stanley Kubrick filmed scenes for Eyes Wide Shut in a junior bedroom and Princess Diana used the dining room for a party. By anybody’s standards £5,287.50 (excluding breakfast and dinner) is a lot to pay so what exactly do you get for your money?
For starters there was the chauffeured Rolls-Royce which came with the suite. Then there were the butlers whose role is to find anything the guest wishes to receive. There were personalised business cards and stationery bunches of flowers from the in-house florist, a bottle of Perrier-Jouet champagne on ice, and a fruit bowl containing giant strawberries.
My butler told me about the hotel’s fitness studio, I asked if I had to train in front of other guests: ‘Of course not sir, I can have the equipment moved up to your suite. You саn work out by the window, it’s a lovely view over Green Park.’ 33
There’s a lot of gold. Gilt-framed portraits, gold and black candlesticks and in the bedroom golden walls, curtains and a gold-canopied four- poster bed.
But behind the early nineteenth-century facade I discovered a stack of hi-tech gadgets: an in room computer with fast internet access and internet radio so you can listen to local stations from New York to Buenos Aires, fifteen phone handsets and a mobile so you can be reached on your room number even when you’re out about town.
But the price shouldn’t be related to the facilities. It’s a unique experience, like the butler who can find whatever you’re looking for. At 12.10 am I urgently needed a recommendation for an Ethiopian restaurant, a 35 mm film for my camera and a fitness cycle delivered to my room for when I woke next morning.
My night butler did not disappoint. Within minutes he recommended the Ethiopian restaurant in Brixton: ‘Would you like us to make a booking sir?’ and located a night chemist who unfortunately did not stock film. It appeared as if by magic by 8.30 next morning, as did the member of staff asking where I required the cycle.
28 Stanley Kubrick stayed at the Lanesborough.
29 The £5,287.50 a night tariff includes breakfast.
30 The room tariff includes a car with a driver.
31 The rooms contain their own fitness studio.
32 The hotel combines modernity with tradition.
33 Guests can be contacted even when they are not in their room.
34 The butler provides a 24-hour service.
35 The butler wasn’t able to get a 35 mm film for the guest.
