The Chancery Rosewood is London’s most architecturally considered hotel opening in a decade — Saarinen’s former US Embassy on Grosvenor Square, restored by Chipperfield, with interiors by Dirand. 144 all-suites from 570 sq ft, Carbone’s first European outpost, a genuine 25-metre pool in Mayfair, and butler service from every category. JP reviews it honestly at £1,280 a night.

No alcohol, no pork, no compromise. Rooftop infinity pool, beach access, spa with hammam, and halal dining, all in one place. If you’ve been settling for less in Marbella, you don’t have to anymore.
