Vogue UK reports that Harrods in London is considering adding a luxury hotel on the roof of its Knightsbridge store.

Harrods managing director Michael Ward said the potential hotel opening was one of several options being considered.

He said: “Are we looking at it? Yes. Have we considered it? Yes. It is something we would do? No plans have been put forward but it is one of them. There are a number of ideas of equal magnitude.”

If the hotel plan goes ahead, the store’s top fourth floor could be converted into a restaurant.

A review of the Harrods business was launched by Qatar Holdings shortly after the Qatar royal family bought it from Mohamed Fayed for $2.2billion in May.
