If we had been living in London back in June, we would have camped out on Brook Street begging for a peek inside. So when we had the chance earlier this month to do tea with our friend <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/katy perry">Katy Perry</a> at the hotel, we couldn't resist asking for a little tour. And now that we've seen this suite in person, we're adding it to the top of our personal hotel bucket list--Suites to Die In. Like, literally, suites where we would like to take our last breaths.

Finally! More than two weeks after the Diane Von Furstenberg rooms at The Claridge's Hotel were unveiled we have some amazing photos to show you. We hope you like prints!

These photos are of the Piano Suite which is the first DVF-designed room to be unveiled and which was done in collaboration with DVF's longtime friend and interior decorator Olivier Gelbsmann. The other 20 or so guestrooms will come online later. The fashionable rooms feature glasswork from Murano, handcrafted items from Bali, handcrafted rugs and photographs from DVF's own travels through Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle.

But the thing is, despite the numerous articles featuring Diane herself talking about her designs for the hotel and despite the A-list celeb party to celebrate the launch of the rooms, which was attended by <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/6/24/124132/784/hotels/The_DVF_Rooms_at_Claridge_s_Reunite_Besties_Madonna_and_Gwyneth">Madge and Gwynnie</a>, these rooms remain unseen.The hotel's press team, who have been gracefully tolerant of our annoying photo requests, tell us the photos are coming very soon--possibly next week--but until then, the website is still showing old photos of the suites and we've yet to see even a swatch of
