The Lanesborough is a prestigious five-star hotel on Hyde Park Corner at Knightsbridge in the City of Westminster, London. It is reputedly the most expensive hotel in London, the highest rate being up to £14,000 per night for the "Lanesborough Suite". A 24-hour private butler is available to each guest. The Lanesborough has accommodated visiting royalty, eminent politicians, and entertainers. Opposite are Hyde Park and Apsley House, the former home of the Duke of Wellington. The hotel is next to the Hyde Park Corner tube station.

The Lanesborough, designed by William Wilkins, was originally constructed from 1827 to 1844 as a 350-bed facility for St George's Hospital. Originally having three floors, a fourth floor was added in 1859. It was closed in 1980 and remained vacant until it was refurbished and reopened as a hotel in 1991. The hotel has 93 rooms (including 43 suites), a restaurant, a bar, 6 meeting rooms, and a spa.
