213LONDON NOTEBOOKNot to be missed in the capital this month...1.BORNAGAIN
After a year that saw the
Mandarin Oriental engulfed in
flames just days after completing
the most extensive revamp in its
history, the hotel has triumphantly
emerged from a second renovation,
returning to her rightful place as
queen of Knightsbridge. Highlights
include suites by Joyce Wang, a chic
new spa and the elegant Rosebery
salon (right) serving afternoon tea.
