Owned and managed by the Emirati firm Jumeirah, it is located on Cadogan Place next to Sloane Street and close to Harrods, Harvey Nichols and central Knightsbridge. Prior to Jumeirah, the hotel was managed by Hyatt as the Park Hyatt Carlton Tower. There are three restaurants and bars which include The Rib Room Bar & Restaurant, and Chinoiserie.
History
The hotel opened in 1961 as the Sonesta Tower. In 2011, to celebrate its 50th year, the hotel published ‘All That Life Can Afford’.[1]
The hotel was voted ‘Best UK Business Hotel’ at the Conde Nast Reader’s Travel Awards in 2008 as well as Conde Nast Middle East Readers’ Choice Awards 2013 - Best International Business Hotel.[2]
The hotel was awarded "England's Best Business Hotel" for three consecutive years (from 2011 to 2013) at the World Travel Awards and has been nominated every year since.[3]
The hotel found itself amid controversy in 2009 when The Telegraph reported a banker's naked corpse was found by a member of staff.[4]
