Near London’s Westminster neighborhood, the Corinthia is lavish with its glass-domed lobby, grand floral displays and glittering chandeliers. The two-story Royal Penthouse Suite has views from its 680-sq-ft terrace of landmarks of the London skyline: the London Eye, Big Ben, Nelson’s Column, St Paul’s and the Thames. Inside, the two floors connect via a private elevator and a swirling staircase. On the lower floor, there’s a large living room, dining room for 10, office and butler’s kitchen. The upper floor has a huge master bedroom with walk-in closet and master bath with spa suite, a TV lounge, 75-sq-ft balcony, terrace and a second bedroom with walk-in closet. You have your own spa, but do visit the ESPA Spa. It’s the best in the city: four subterranean floors of slick black marble, dancing fireplaces and an excellent treatment menu.
