London for 20 years and strikingly constructed from White Portland stone.
Privately owned since being sold in may 1999. Major refurbishment in 2007
carried out under supervision of designer Alexander Kravetz.
Re-opened in Autumn 2007 after a £20 million pound refurbishment which raised
the hotels rating from the previous
AA
4 star to the current 5 star.
On 17th April 2010 broke the record for the most expensive bottle of wine ever
sold at a UK bar. A Russian billionaire bought a Methuselah (equal to 8 regular
bottles) of 1996 Rosé Gold for £35,000. There was a service charge on top of
this of £4,375 and the guest left a tip of £10,625. In July 2010 an American
female guest left £500,000 worth of jewellery in the room safe after checking
out. The find was reported by the chambermaid.
