Concealed within Ten Trinity Square's neoclassical façade, the Skyline Penthouse feels like a well-kept secret. Once the hotel owner’s private residence, this duplex unfolds from a private elevator into a marble foyer, leading to a wood-paneled library, velvet-draped cinema, and sleek kitchen. The principal suite, with its twin dressing rooms, private gym, and rooftop terrace, offers uninterrupted views of Tower Bridge and St Paul’s. You also get 24-hour butler service and chauffeured Rolls-Royce transfers.

Suspended above Belgravia in Lord Rogers’ sail-like structure, The Emory Penthouse is a wonderful addition to the capital's hotel inventory. Rigby & Rigby designed this residence in the sky with pale oak, honed marble, and champagne-gilded details. Expansive terraces extend from every room, framing views of Hyde Park and shielding the space with the building’s signature architectural sweep. A private gym with Peloton and PENT equipment completes the picture.

The Penthouse at Claridge's, designed by Rémi Tessier, is a rooftop residence wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, revealing cinematic views across London. Rare materials — green onyx, ziricote wood, Lebanese cedar — set a quietly opulent tone, while 75 original Damien Hirst artworks offer moments of daring contrast. Outside, a rooftop garden has sculpted trees and a 29.5-ft pool, while inside a Steinway grand piano completes this pinnacle of London living.
