Hotels Katy Perry Has Stayed At

A vintage coffee truck in the lobby and a vinyl collection in the VIP Lounge give The Cumberland a playful streak that suits its musical identity. With 900 bedrooms at Marble Arch, this is a London hotel on a substantial scale, with plenty happening under one roof: Spanish tapas at Lírica, cocktails at SOUND Bar, and Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen. Hyde Park is on the doorstep, and the Park View rooms make the most of that setting with views across the park. For guests in Executive King rooms and suites, the lounge adds a more personal diversion: records to play, an ice cream machine, and refreshments throughout the day.

Le Relais Plaza’s Art Deco dining room takes its cues from the first-class restaurant aboard the ocean liner SS Normandie—a telling detail at a hotel with such a strong sense of occasion. Opened in 1936, the brasserie remains part of Hôtel Plaza Athénée’s character on avenue Montaigne, where fashion shapes the surroundings and the hotel itself. Christian Dior staged shows and photo shoots here; today, the connection continues through the Dior Spa. Red geraniums mark the façade, while the vine-covered courtyard offers another distinctive setting for a meal. Between the avenue-side terrace, afternoon tea in La Galerie and suites with Eiffel Tower views, the hotel gives guests several ways to settle into this corner of Paris.
