Penthouse Suite

The Summit

The Summit occupies the entire eleventh floor of the Altaris London building — 240m² of interior, 60m² of wraparound terrace, and a horizon that no other address in the hotel can claim. The panorama extends 270 degrees: due south, Buckingham Palace and the green sweep of St James's Park; to the west, Hyde Park and the distant ridge of the Chelsea Embankment; northward, Regent's Park and the BT Tower above Fitzrovia; east, the dome of St Paul's and the glass towers of the City. The wraparound terrace, planted with English hornbeam hedges and white roses, encloses a private swimming pool in honed Portland stone — six metres long, heated year-round. The principal salon, its ceiling removed to expose the original Georgian timber roof structure, is the grandest room in the hotel: fifteen-metre ceiling height, original chamfered oak beams, and a fireplace large enough to stand within. The master suite occupies the north wing; the second suite, the south. Both have independent dressing rooms and marble bathrooms. A staff room and butler's pantry are located off the service entrance. The suite has a private lift from the lobby. A dedicated team — butler, private chef, chauffeur — is assigned for the duration of each stay. The Summit is available by application only.
