A riverside London retreat on a leafy avenue next to Embankment, the Corinthia is one of the capital’s most unabashedly opulent establishments. It’s perfectly placed for enjoying all of central London, with a handy Daniel Galvin salon to get you ready for nights out in the West End. Alternative evenings await in the form of enormous fish and chips, or pie and clotted-cream mash at Tom Kerridge’s urban outpost – be sure to enjoy cocktails in the courtyard first.
