The Restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park London

"In the glam Adam Tihany–designed bar, backlit bottles masquerade as stained glass, and the restaurant, Foliage, is one of the city's foodie hits"

"Legendary British chef and "food alchemist" Heston Blumenthal oversees the restaurant, or there's New York–based Daniel Boulud's French brasserie, Bar Boulud"

"Its location, opposite Harvey Nichols and adjacent to Hyde Park, doesn’t hurt, nor do onsite restaurants Bar Boulud and the Michelin-starred Dinner by Heston Blumenthal"

"Food: award-winning foliage restaurants and Park Terrase recommended as some of best in city without forgetting  famous Madarin Oriental afternoon tea"

"Two celebrity chef restaurants – Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and a French bistro via Daniel Boulud – are a highlight of this luxury hotel where the elegant, English-style quarters feature views of Knightsbridge, an inner courtyard or Hyde Park (and occasionally the Queen’s Cavalry returning from exercise)"

"Situated at the heart of the super-elite Knightsbridge district, bordered by Harrods, Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace, this one-time Victorian Gentleman’s Club now comprises 198 of the most luxurious rooms and suites in the city, two swishy restaurants, and a lavish spa"

"Currently ranked as the UK’s top restaurant, according to San Pellegrino’s World’s 50 Best list, it has garnered a loyal following for its historical-themed menu"

"Grab a bite at one of the hotel's 3 restaurants, or stay in and take advantage of 24-hour room service"

"For lovers of culinary ingenuity, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (the pioneer of playing around with food) offers guests the chance to try experimental cuisine such as Meat Fruit, a chicken liver parfait presented as a perfect Mandarin fruit --- and all without having to trek to Blumenthal's flagship restaurant in Bray"

"Notable amenities include a fabulous spa with a pool, restaurants from boldface-name chefs, and a 24-hour gym"
