With an independent spirit and an eye for style, The Berkeley is the epitome of modern British luxury. Rooms are furnished by leading designers, and London’s original fashionista afternoon tea ‘Prêt-à-Portea’ is served daily in the Collins Room. The Berkeley is perfectly positioned between Hyde Park, fashionable Knightsbridge and the residential neighbourhood of Belgravia. Its signature experiences include the famed Blue Bar, The Berkeley Bar & Terrace, Michelin-starred dining in ‘Marcus’ by Marcus Wareing and our Bamford Health Club & Spa. CÉDRIC GROLET AT THE BERKELEY With a string of accolades citing him as the best pastry chef in the world, Cédric Grolet – known for his trompe-l'œil artistry, Fruits and Flowers – has opened the doors to his first patisserie outside of France, Cédric Grolet at The Berkeley. Positioned on Knightsbridge, with leafy views over Hyde Park, Cédric Grolet at The Berkeley is home to the chef’s signature viennoiserie, cookies, cakes and standout patisseries for takeaway, all made each morning fresh for the day, with a 'once they are gone, they are gone!' policy. Currently sold separately in Paris, Cédric Grolet's most famous creations, his fruits and flower cakes, are sold together for the very first time. Alongside these standout creations is an exclusive for London: a signature trompe-l'œil, where Cédric Grolet and his team have created an illusion of his favourite British cake, a classic scone, as a tribute to Britain. For those who want more than a takeaway experience, discover Cédric Grolet's Counter, which hosts a globally exclusive dining experience inside the lab. Sat around a counter divided into two sets of four seats either side, guests will be treated to a menu of signature tastings, five sweet and one savoury, served with champagne, while the team of chefs makes finishing touches to these staggering creations.
