Thames Suite

The Embankment

The Embankment suite is named for the riverside it commands — the northern bank of the Thames at Embankment, where Parliament and St Paul's define a skyline unchanged in its essential drama for three centuries. The suite occupies 148m² on the seventh floor of the Thames-facing elevation. A riverside terrace, cantilevered above the water's northern embankment, can be accessed directly from the principal salon — a room whose walls are dressed in vegetable-tanned leather panels in a palette of tobacco and pale wheat. The book-lined study was furnished in collaboration with a St James's antiquarian — twelve running metres of leather-bound British literature and history, curated over two years. The master bedroom faces due east; the Statuario Venato marble bathroom, due south, positions its freestanding copper soaking tub to face St Paul's dome across the water. A dedicated butler manages the suite throughout the day and night.
