The Berkeley Hotel is centrally located and has an excellent restaurant. I went to visit it when I was trained to recognize hotels as being one star, two star, three star, four star and five star. The Berkeley was five star. To be five star, everything had to be authentic. Solid wood, not veneer or plastic pretending to be wood.
When I dined there, the waiters showed, me, at my request, how to fold table napkins.
It is hard to recommend a particular dish at a five star hotel restaurant because they will be changing the menu regularly with the seasons and a dish of the day so that no diner finds that there is nothing new to try.
When my husband went there is 2021 he understood the chef had come from the Mandarin Oriental just down the road in Kensington. (Or was it somet other hotel or restaurant?) It is a small world. Chefs play musical chairs.
