It’s a hotel that we have known for several years, a certain luxury and tradition! Superb decoration for Christmas, the lounges with fireplaces for tea with beautiful silver metal crockery and teapot, very attentive staff, make you feel good.
We will come back again…

Excellent hotel, very well located in the heart of South Kensington, close to subway stations. Magnificent architecture, excellent service. It was a delight to stay at the hotel. I hope to repeat the experience soon. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful hotel, great breakfast and incredible staff! so friendly, warm, and genuinely caring. I only stayed for two days but what stood out most was the personal touch: the hotel staff remembered guests’ names and greeted us personally at the door, which is such a rare and special gesture these days. It truly made me feel like I was coming home. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team, and especially to George who works in the reception area. You’re all doing a wonderful job!
