Win a luxury weekend at the Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel...

I’m not particularly posh on the best of days. In fact, when my iron decided not to work about five months ago, instead of getting a new one I just vowed to spend more money on clothes that wouldn’t crease.

Needless to say I was a bit dubious about how I’d look set against the serene backdrop of a leafy London square outside the Jameirah Lowndes hotel.  With Knightsbridge and its stylish stores just yards away I was pretty grateful to step inside and hide quite frankly, although thankfully I had no need to worry. You see, just because  the Jumeirah is gorgeous, you don’t have to be posh all the time to feel welcome. 

I started with a drink in the Mimosa Bar and restaurant, where I’d later feast on a bounty of Mediterranean scrumptiousness. I almost wished it was hot outside so I could sit on the terrace and watch all the lovely looking men wining and dining their special someones in the sunshine. It’s probably gorgeous in the summer. This place really felt like heart of the hotel - always bustling, but instead of sitting under suspended glass pendants and listening to the warming chatter, I could have easily ordered their food via 24 hour room service, gone up to my room and borrowed the iron. Ah, who cares!

There are 87 rooms at the Jumeirah, including 14 suites with a dedicated all-suite 6th floor. I was lucky enough to be staying in the Junior Suite, which had its very own lounge area. Plenty of room for a good old boogie to the music channels on the telly, while no one’s looking of course.  I loved the marble bathroom - it did take a while to realise that they weren’t being extra generous with the two toilets, just in case one broke. One of them was actually a bidet. 

After lapping up the luxury of my suite, I decided to take advantage of the complimentary access to the Spa area of the Peak Health Club and Spa to sooth my cares away. I adore those Sisley and Pevonia treatments, and my massage wasn’t half bad either. Well, I definitely needed one after my lengthy shopping expedition to Harrods! The spa is on the 9th floor of the Carlton Towers just across the road, so I had a panoramic view of London as I did my time on the treadmill. The pool was something else entirely - I swam in a 20 metre pool in tropical water garden settings. Beautiful! A true Oasis in Belgravia.

The Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel is definitely a treat worth repeating, and only 5 minutes from Knightsbridge and Sloane Square underground stations too. I could have even had a limo to pick me up if I didn’t think I could walk. Thankfully, I didn’t buy too many pairs of Jimmy Choos so I wasn’t quite at the staggering stage by the time I got there. Just as well really, I’m not sure that even Jimmy Choos would help to enhance my crumpled look of late. Perhaps I should go and borrow that iron…
