Luxurious Boutique Hotels
London is home to a good number of very decadent five star hotels with world leading facilities. But there are those who prefer their five star experience to be a bit smaller and more personal. London also has a number of what I call boutique style five star hotels, many of which are located in some of the city’s most charming neighborhoods like Kensington and Knightsbridge. This is the closest visitors can get to feeling like they are staying at the home of a very well off and stylish London friend.
The Ampersand
Boutique luxury in South Kensington inspired by the major local attractions like the Science Museum and Natural History Museum
The Kensington
Chic and comfortable, this is as boutique as a 150 room five star hotel gets with a great location.
The Beaumont
The independently owned Beaumont combines five star luxury with the aesthetic and feel of a premium boutique hotel. The Beaumont is known for its love of art which includes a Magritte in the bar and an Anthony Gormley room/sculpture.
The Goring
If a classic English country garden was a five-star luxury hotel in London this would be it. Quintessentially English in all the good ways, this family run hotel is one of the most delightful five star hotels in London in my opinion.
COMO The Halkin
The COMO hotels are famous for their stylish and holistic approach to hospitality, and this boutique-sized property in London is no exception. The design is contemporary, comfortable and warm.
Egerton House
With just 28 rooms, the Egerton House Hotel is a truly elegant boutique experience delivered in a classic British manner down to its famous martinis. If you’re looking for small, personal and private this is the Knightsbridge boutique hotel for you.
The Cadogan
The Cadogan is the second British property from Belmond and delivers on the Orient Express-style indulgence for which the brand is famed. At just 54 rooms, the Cadogan manages to deliver five star in a personalised, boutique manner.
