“Knightsbridge finds an exquisite expression here, where Anoushka Hempel's opulent design creates a cocoon of elegance; Michelin-starred dining and a Gatsby-esque bar elevate the experience. With a hammam and views over Egerton Gardens, it's a serene escape amidst the city's bustle, in my opinion. A truly polished boutique experience.”

Acceptable stay with some disappointments

basic breakfast slow service
The location was great.
The breakfast included was quite basic. If I wanted something more elaborate, like fresh fruit, I had to pay extra. The service was also slow. My tea and coffee arrived after I had finished eating.
