The Carlton Tower Jumeirah, Knightsbridge, has reopened its doors following an 18-month closure for refurbishment, the most extensive transformation in its history, at a cost of over £100 million.

To celebrate the reopening, The Carlton Tower is offering an opening staycation experience for the first-in guests. ‘Time To Shine’ has been crafted to allow guests to make the most of their time in the Capital with an early check in at 10am and late check out at 10pm, giving them a full day to explore the sights of London. The special package includes a room upgrade, as well as a complimentary one hour massage in Talise Spa to unwind, or for families, a complimentary under 5's meal created in collaboration with leading children's food expert, Annabel Karmel MBE, a famed author of children’s books on nutrition and cooking for babies. For guests travelling by car, they can enjoy complimentary secure valet parking, rare in central London.

Aaron Kaupp, Regional Vice President Northern Europe and General Manager of The Carlton Tower Jumeirah says: “We are thrilled to welcome back our valued guests following a significant investment and a complete renovation of the hotel, with new rooms, restaurant offerings, spa and lobby entrance. This landmark opening is set against the backdrop of a pandemic, which has seen the world and our beloved industry face extreme difficulty. The Carlton Tower Jumeirah will be a beacon of hope during a very difficult time for us all. We will once more be the place to be seen, a cornerstone for the local London community, as well as a leader of luxury hospitality in the world.”

The Carlton Tower has been a landmark hotel over the decades, but now sees a new chapter for the property. The hotel refurbishment has seen every corner of the 17-story building redesigned and rejuvenated. The 186 beautifully appointed guest rooms have all been renovated to the highest standard, designed by 1508 London, to offer a sense of tranquillity with an emphasis on light and space, reduced from 216 to offer larger accommodation. The renovations include the creation of a striking double-height  reception, newly created Lobby bar and lounge, ballroom and meeting rooms and an Italian restaurant Al Mare, serving sophisticated Italian cuisine. The renovations continue with an innovative new health club The Peak and new treatment rooms at the Talise Spa, set across three floors, boasting London’s largest indoor swimming pool, flooded with natural light and breathtaking views across the capital.

Located overlooking the world-famous Sloane Street and key London landmarks, The Carlton Tower Jumeirah is a modern classic and sophisticated destination with a rich history. The hotel maintains its world-renowned reputation for first class service and meticulous attention to detail, and has been reinvented for a new generation of discerning guests.  Room rates: From £540 including VAT.
