The Peninsula London, the city’s first hotel development to exceed £1 billion in cost, is situated at the heart of the capital, overlooking Hyde Park and Wellington Arch. Now open after a thirty-five-year search by Sir Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, owner of The Peninsula Hotels group, the property offers a unique East-meets-West dialogue, a fleet of signature green Rolls-Royces, London’s largest suite, and a rooftop restaurant and bar with sweeping panoramic views unlike any the city has ever seen. Photographer Oliver Pilcher captures it all for us, revealing why this is one of the globe’s most anticipated hotel openings of the past decade.

About Assouline
We created this company to be the first luxury brand on culture. We wanted to supply everything for a contemporary library; we started working with top perfumers for scented candles, with Goyard for a book trunk, with Chanel on a quilted leather slipcase, and so on. Now we are expanding the Assouline lifestyle brand in stores in the most important cities of the world. We love and believe in books more than everything else, but we also want to extend our vision to create all that can be expected in a chic and personalized library, from beautiful books and special editions to luxury gift items, unique library accessories, and now a complete turnkey collection of stylish furniture. Our digital world goes faster than ever and nothing remains of it, but books are a solid part of our past and present. They are also beautiful. For us, books are a matter of intellect and emotion; heritage and innovation. Information is not only about today, and the past is a sensational source of inspiration.
