This season, Jumeirah Carlton Tower unveils its Alpine Escape in the heart of London.
The first notes of winter settle gently over Jumeirah Carlton Tower. In the lobby, the snow-dusted evergreens glow beneath twinkling lights, voices rise over hot chocolate and buttery scones, evoking the charm of a mountain village. It feels both familiar and transporting - as though Knightsbridge itself has been graced by the serene elegance of the Alps. This is the beginning of a festive journey mapped across the hotel, each floor a gentle ascent, each staircase a mountain path. At the summit, The Peak Lounge’s floor-to-ceiling windows frame London’s glittering skyline - a sight to behold - transforming the city into a breath-taking backdrop for après-ski evenings, warm conversations over moments of refined indulgence.
Elevated Escape: Jumeirah Carlton Tower | Perfect Moment
Among its highlights is the collaboration with Chamonix-born luxury ski and lifestyle brand Perfect Moment. The brand has always carried a sense of theatre - its bold star, inspired by the North Star, has become a symbol of guidance and style. Perfect Moment embodies a distinctive charm that moves seamlessly from the slopes to the city.
This winter, that spirit arrives at The Peak Lounge, where Jumeirah Carlton Tower introduces City Lights, Alpine Nights - the hotel’s signature fondue experience. Guests are invited to an alpine-inspired retreat that echoes the warmth of a mountain sanctuary, where refined indulgence meets seasonal cocktails and decadent hot chocolates - all set against the shimmer of the city beyond.
Alpine-Inspired Afternoon Tea
Afternoons are marked by a quintessential British tradition, reimagined with alpine charm. In The Chinoiserie, the ritual unfolds with elegance, each tier carrying winter-inspired creations such as gold scones with seasonal preserves and spiced pear tartlets. In the spirit of the season, the experience may be elevated with a glass of bubbly, transforming a familiar custom into a sparkling celebration.
A Festive Feast
On 25 December, the celebrations unfold in The Garden Room, overlooking the wintry beauty of Cadogan Gardens. Here, a generous buffet brings together flavours from across the world: oysters, lobster and sushi prepared to order at the seafood bar; vibrant Mediterranean and Middle Eastern mezze; and festive classics from the carving station, with Norfolk Bronze turkey and honey-roasted vegetables at its heart. From smoky dishes at the barbecue and tandoori grill to Italian Pan-Asian delicacies, the variety offers something for every taste. A cheese bar and an elegant array of desserts provide a fitting finale, all accompanied by live music.
An Alpine Escape to Knightsbridge
Extend the experience with an overnight stay enriched with thoughtful details. On arrival, bubbly and a seasonal treat await in your room, followed by your choice of indulgence: an afternoon tea for two in The Chinoiserie, or a 60-minute spa ritual at Talise Spa at The Peak. Choose from The Alpine Recovery, a flowing massage that eases tension and restores circulation, or The Silent Night Ritual, which guides the body into deep rest through soothing techniques, pressure points and mindful breathwork.
For those welcoming 2026 in Knightsbridge, the Carlton Countdown stay includes bubbly on arrival, pre- and post-celebration 111SKIN masks, and a glittering gala dinner in the Ballroom, with the choice of a bespoke Retox or Detox kit to close the night.
Together, these touches create a stay that balances vitality with serenity - a welcome counterpoint to the city’s energy.
