Carlton Tower Hotel or the Jumeirah Carlton Tower is a luxury 5-star hotel in London, England. Owned and managed by the Emirati firm Jumeirah who have most of their hotels in Dubai, it is located at Cadogan Place next to Sloane Street and is extremely close to Harrods, Harvey Nichols and the centre of Knightsbridge. Prior to Jumeirah, the hotel was managed by Hyatt as the Park Hyatt Carlton Tower. The hotel was voted ‘Best UK Business Hotel’ at the Conde Nast Reader’s Travel Awards in 2008.[1]
History
When the Jumeirah Carlton Tower opened in 1961, it was the tallest building in London, and attracted the attention of high-profile international travellers keen to experience modern luxury. In 2011, to celebrate its 50th year in business, the hotel published an informative book, following the venue’s history. ‘All That Life Can Afford’ documents the Jumeirah Carlton’s colourful past, combining images and anecdotes from an era of exciting travel and accommodation developments.[2]
