Superbly situated alongside Hyde Park Corner and Wellington Arch, the hotel masterfully blends classic British design with the Peninsula’s signature Asian grace. Margaret has a fascinating and delightful conversation with Executive Chef Saravanan Palanipandichamy, exploring how he and his world-class team translate the hotel’s philosophy of impeccable, cross-cultural service onto the plate and home to the two-Michelin-starred Brooklands by Claude Bosi.
