Knightsbridge Hotel, Firmdale Hotels
Though the building, on a quiet wooded cul-de-sac, is classic Georgian townhouse, the interiors are inventive, as we’ve come to expect from Tim and Kit Kemp. Tired country house clichés be damned—here you’ll find a lobby full of modern artworks, an African-themed drawing room, where cozy armchairs huddle round the fireplace, and a soft pastel-toned library, complete with honor bar.
Guest rooms are impressive as well, decorated in a similar eclectic style, lighter and airier than you might expect, with rich fabrics, luxe furnishings and thick canopy beds. The bathrooms are a vision in granite and oak, with deep cast iron tubs and the obligatory Miller Harris bath products. These rooms are fit for business as well, with writing desks, private safes and high-speed internet access.
There’s no restaurant, in keeping with the relative minimalism of the Knightsbridge, just room service, and breakfast served in the sitting rooms. You won’t mind, though, as you’re here to enjoy the neighborhood, not the lobby. Any number of dining options are to be had in the immediate area, and did we mention the shopping? If there’s a drawback at all, it’s that once you get used to staying here, you may begin to fantasize that you could actually live here. For those of us who are not yet in the market for a home in Chelsea, though, there’s always the Knightsbridge.

Everything
Felt like staying at a well designed country house with friends. The finishes, bath, closets and linens were all top quality. The common areas were like living rooms. Breakfast options were excellent. The hotel is one block to Harrods, 3 blocks to Royal Albert Hall and Hyde Park. Great neighborhood if you plan on spending time in Knightsbridge or Kensington. Tube connections aren’t quite as convenient as Mayfair or points east. Cabs are easy to obtain though.
I absolutely loved this hotel. The room was spacious and inviting with thoughtful touches and the staff could not have been any better. The location was great while still offering a quiet respite.
