Becky Fatemi, Exec Partner, Sotheby’s International Realty comments; “One Hyde Park in London is ‘the’ trophy address of a lifetime. To own the penthouse here would be the ‘ultimate’ accolade for any buyer, there is nothing else like this in the entire world and in my mind it is the pinnacle of super prime London in terms of location, quality, views and sublime facilities. The position offers unrivalled views across Hyde Park and beyond, with interiors to the highest specification and superb terraces.”
The iconic development of 86 apartments has notoriously beat the cost per square foot records for London, and continued to hold and gain value over time. Even before entering the lobby of the behemoth building its impressiveness is apparent. No detail has been overlooked. The property developers, the Candy brothers of CPC Group, known for creating exceptional luxury residences, are behind the development of One Hyde Park. With their distinctive interior taste and meticulous attention to detail, they created a penthouse unlike any other. One Hyde Park has been separated into four blocks which enables views of the park, and Knightsbridge, but not sideways into the apartments of neighbours.
The £175 million penthouse is the jewel in the crown. It has to be seen to be believed and fully appreciated in all its splendour. Unfolding over 18,000 square feet, this haven in the sky demonstrates that a home truly can have it all. Widely renowned for being one of the finest residential real estate assets in London, multiple international publications have labelled this home the most exclusive penthouse in the world.
Not only is the home located in Knightsbridge, meaning it has excellent access to some of the city’s best retail, restaurants, and galleries, this duplex apartment has uninterrupted views across Hyde Park, Knightsbridge, and the Serpentine. The spectacle of vistas can be enjoyed from the wrap-around terraces, accessed from the double-heighted, formal reception room which has 8 metre ceilings and serves as the main entertaining space. At the heart of the home is a magnificent glass fireplace, the perfect place to sit back and unwind, while enjoying the best views London has to offer.
Residents can drive their cars into a car lift which takes them to a secure underground car park, from where they can access apartments. One of the many features that attracts ultra-high net worth individuals to this development is the unprecedented discretion and privacy that is offered. There is an emphasis throughout the building on the privacy and security of residents: bulletproof glass, panic rooms, and security trained by the British Special Forces demonstrate that no detail has been overlooked in ensuring peace of mind when it comes to safety.
The duplex apartment has five en-suite bedrooms, the principal suite alone spans 2,300 square feet (the average apartment in London is 673 square feet) with views overlooking Hyde Park. It also has two bathrooms, each of which has Jacuzzi-style jet pools. All five bedrooms have en suite bathrooms with luxurious marble spa-like features and ample wardrobe space.
London’s most exclusive penthouse features much more than you expect, it’s not simply standard living elevated, but a home with so many amenities that you will never want to leave. With its own cocktail bar, home cinema, a private spa which includes a treatment room, sauna and steam room, and gym, this home is more like a five-star hotel than a private apartment. The amenities aren’t just for unwinding and entertaining though. There are also two studies and a meeting room.
For residents with live-in staff, there is a separate suite that has its own entrance, and thoughtfully designed back-of-house areas to ensure efficient and discreet service throughout the property. There are also four storage units within the building and four secure underground parking spaces.
The duplex apartment is managed by the Mandarin Oriental Group, a brand synonymous with prestige and luxury, and the joy of this penthouse is the services they offer that rival that of a hotel. 24-hour maid services, same day laundry and dry cleaning, and a suite that caters to a seated dinner of 36, or standing canapes for 100.
There is no detail overlooked in London’s most expensive penthouse, the designers, curators, and architects have thoughtfully ensured every need of every resident is met. This world-famous apartment is truly spectacular, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the most fabulous residence in London, available through United Kingdom’s Sotheby’s International Realty now.
