Jumeirah Carlton Tower London & La Maison Ani

Jumeirah Carlton Tower London & La Maison Ani

Overview

An established Knightsbridge hotel close to Sloane Street and Harrods, Jumeirah Carlton Tower combines a French restaurant with a substantial wellness offering high above the city.

The combination of Knightsbridge dining and The Peak's elevated pool makes it one of the more complete urban wellness choices in this group.

Eat

La Maison Ani is the hotel's French restaurant, giving the stay a brasserie-style centrepiece. Check its current menu and reserve directly, especially for a weekend dinner. The hotel has other spaces for drinks and lighter dining, so a meal here can form part of a full evening in the building rather than a standalone reservation elsewhere in London.

La Maison Ani provides French brasserie cooking rather than a traditional hotel dining menu. If the restaurant is the main reason for staying, examine its current dinner service and book your table first. The hotel's other bars and lounges can extend the evening, but a reservation in one area should not be assumed to cover another.

Sleep

Guest rooms and suites are contemporary and designed for a luxury city stay. Categories differ in space and outlook; some suites add separate living areas. The hotel's published suite details include access to The Peak Fitness Club and Spa, but verify access against the particular room and rate you select.

Some larger suites offer distinct living and sleeping space, helpful for a longer London stay or a celebration. The hotel advertises Peak access for certain categories, but the terms of a particular rate are more useful than the room name alone. Compare outlook, breakfast and wellness access before choosing a premium category.

Retreat

The Peak Fitness Club and Talise Spa include a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gym, with treatments offered separately. It is a useful contrast to the busy Knightsbridge streets below. Harrods and the shopping of Sloane Street are close at hand, while Hyde Park is an easy extension to a morning walk.

A swim high above the city offers a different pace from Sloane Street below. Thermal facilities, gym and treatments allow a substantial wellness afternoon, though treatments should be scheduled separately. Hyde Park is nearby if you want fresh air between breakfast and another visit to the restaurant.
