Hotels Kate Moss Has Stayed At

A Chihuly chandelier in the Foyer gives Claridge’s a fitting introduction: design is central to this Mayfair hotel, where Victorian grandeur and Art Deco geometry shape the public rooms. The bedrooms carry that range further, spanning Victorian, Deco, and contemporary styles rather than following a single decorative template. Afternoon tea in the Foyer & Reading Room remains one of the hotel’s defining rituals, while the intimate Fumoir has been serving cocktails since 1929. The spa adds another architectural draw, with a heated pool beneath a multi-vaulted ceiling supported by stone columns. Outside, Brook Street and Davies Street place guests among Mayfair’s shopping streets, within easy reach of Hyde Park.

Expansive windows and uncluttered interiors give COMO Metropolitan London its character, with Hyde Park or the Mayfair skyline supplying the outlook from its 144 rooms and suites. In the Junior Park Suites, sycamore timber and window seats make the park views part of the room’s design; selected Metropolitan Park Rooms add balconies. This contemporary hotel on Old Park Lane also has a substantial dining identity: Nobu serves Japanese-Peruvian cooking on the first floor, while Labombe by Trivet brings a wine-focused restaurant and bar from the team behind Trivet. Hyde Park lies across the road, and Bond Street, Piccadilly, and Knightsbridge are within walking distance.

English gardens provide the design thread at The Dorchester: their colors and motifs shape the rooms and suites, while an extensive art collection explores the British landscape tradition. Outside, Hyde Park stretches across from the hotel’s Park Lane address in Mayfair, with Bond Street’s boutiques nearby. That connection to its surroundings gives this grand London hotel a character beyond its dining credentials, which include contemporary French cuisine at the three-Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse restaurant. The Promenade supplies a more everyday rhythm, serving breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner with live music. Together, these spaces make the hotel as much a place to spend an afternoon or evening as a base for exploring London.

A stainless steel orb reflects the Lobby Bar at The London EDITION, where tufted sofas, a communal table, and a snooker table make the entrance a gathering place in its own right. Set in a restored historic building on Berners Street in Fitzrovia, the hotel carries Ian Schrager’s emphasis on sociable spaces through to Berners Tavern. Here, chef Jason Atherton’s contemporary British cooking comes beneath chandeliers inspired by New York’s Grand Central Station. The 173 rooms and suites have a distinctly nautical character: oak floors, wood-paneled walls, custom furniture, and Hendrik Kerstens photographs suggest the cabins of a private yacht. Soho is close by, giving guests plenty of reasons to venture beyond the hotel’s bars and dining room.

Martin Brudnizki’s interiors give Fouquet’s New York its particular personality: brass, velvet, and Art Deco furniture bring a Parisian sensibility to Tribeca’s cobblestone streets. The 97 rooms and suites carry that aesthetic into a softer palette of pastels, with high ceilings and large windows; Deluxe King rooms pair lavender and almond green with views of the neighborhood’s historic redbrick buildings. The connection to Paris extends to Brasserie Fouquet’s, an homage to the Champs-Élysées original founded in 1899, and Titsou Bar, whose candlelit tables recall the 1920s and ’30s. Terrace suites open the hotel outward, framing Tribeca’s 19th-century architecture or the Hudson River.

Jacques Grange gave The Mark a distinctive design vocabulary: bold black-and-white stripes, custom furnishings, and art and lighting commissioned specifically for the hotel. Working with Parisian antiquaire Pierre Passebon, he brought in contributors including Ron Arad, Vladimir Kagan, and Mattia Bonetti, giving the public spaces the appeal of a design collection. Upstairs, rooms take a more uncluttered approach, with views over Madison Avenue, East 77th Street, or townhouse gardens. The Upper East Side address puts Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art within easy reach, while Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s restaurant and Caviar Kaspia—with its caviar-topped twice-baked potato—give visitors reasons to linger downstairs.

Karl Lagerfeld’s Grands Appartements give Hôtel de Crillon a distinctive design pedigree behind its Neoclassical façade on Place de la Concorde. Art runs through the hotel, with sculpture, painting and photography by established and emerging artists sharing space with its historic architecture. The rooms take a residential approach, pairing custom art and comfortable furnishings with marble bathrooms; suites add bespoke furniture, textiles and individually selected objets d’art. Tucked-away courtyards offer a quieter setting within the property. For an evening overlooking the square, Les Ambassadeurs serves cocktails alongside live music, with a terrace beneath the arcades—a place to appreciate the architecture as part of everyday hotel life.

Versailles provides the architectural cue for Le Meurice’s Alain Ducasse restaurant, where Philippe Starck reinterpreted the château’s Salon de la Paix. That interplay of classical grandeur and artistic invention gives this Paris hotel its character: Starck also designed Le Dalí, drawing on the surrealist’s playful imagination. Facing the Tuileries Garden on rue de Rivoli, with the Louvre a five-minute walk away, Le Meurice puts art within easy reach both indoors and out. Food is an equally compelling reason to linger, from the two-Michelin-starred restaurant to Cédric Grolet’s pastries sculpted to resemble fruit. In the evening, Bar 228 offers deep leather armchairs and live jazz—a more intimate setting within the hotel’s ornate world.

Royal blue in the lobby, a grand staircase and rooms furnished with silks and antique art give the Ritz Paris its richly layered character. César Ritz chose a private mansion on Place Vendôme for the hotel he opened in 1898; he and his wife, Marie-Louise, approached it as a vast private home, mixing periods and French decorative traditions. That residential idea still gives shape to a stay, from individually styled accommodations to the wood-paneled Salon Proust, where books and armchairs frame afternoon tea. Outside, the Grand Jardin extends the hotel’s sequence of salons into greenery, with magnolias, a fountain and wooden alcoves along a trellis gallery.
