Not surprisingly, the desk occupies a premier position within the library-like lounge. Custom-designed and crafted from dark walnut, the two-metre-long writing table features nickel metalwork details to the underside and high-quality leather inlay to the desktop. Around the walls, over a thousand books add to the literary ambiance, complemented by artwork featuring handwritten letters.

Perhaps the spirit of Mantovani, resident conductor when this building was the famed Hôtel Métropole in the ‘20s, lives on. Certainly, the musical influences in this inspirational penthouse are real. A state-of-the-art record deck is on hand, the artwork has a musical slant and decorative features echo the swirls of crochets and quavers. Not that guests need musical talent to appreciate this grand residential space. On the contrary, any international traveller accustomed to fine living will feel at home here.

The scene is a sumptuous suite with an elegant oak-panelled lobby, spacious lounge and sweeping staircase leading to a generous bedroom, bathroom and dressing area.

Practical, stylish lighting, dark parquet flooring and hand-finished rugs add real warmth and luxury-living ambience.

He might also approve of the Savile Row styled dressing room and whisky bar.
