With services such as 24 hour personal Butler service for all rooms (will pack, unpack, look after your trip planning and any other needs) you know this is a very special hotel.

Background:

Closed from December 2013 until July 2015 for total refurbishment.
Part of the Oetker Collection since November 2014 when it left the St Regis brand.
The hotel takes its name from Viscount Lanesborough who built his home on this spot in 1719. It was to become the St Georges Hospital and remained so between 1733 and 1980. Between 1825 and 1829 the original structure was demolished and a totally building emerged on the same spot. The hotel was shut down for good in 1980. In 1987 the building was again subject to major renovation, in reality a reconstruction while retaining the original facade and opened as the Lanesborough Hotel for the first time on December 30th 1991 under the Rosewood Hotels ownership. They set the designer the task of creating the look and feel of a Regency country home and the result is a hotel with class and style.
In December 2013 the Lanesborough auctioned off most of its interior in readiness for its major refurbishment during 2014.
In March 2007 the hotel was the first ever hotel in the UK to offer its guests free unlimited landline phonecalls. In 2009 became the first London hotel to offer complimentary laptop hire.
Michael Jackson Stayed at the hotel on his last visit to the UK in March 2009.
