Description: Knightsbridge Hotel

The Knightsbridge Hotel is situated in Beaufort Gardens, a quiet tree filled street in the heart of Knightsbridge. Harrods, Harvey Nichols and the international designer stores of Sloane Street and Brompton Cross are all just a minutes walk away, as well as the museums of South Kensington - Victoria & Albert, Natural History and the Science Museum. Knightsbridge Hotel is an hotel for discerning travellers spending their own money. Guests who might like the look and style of other Firmdale properties can enjoy a similar experience but at a more affordable price without having to make any compromise on location and style. Knightsbridge Hotel comprises 44 bedrooms and suites decorated by owner/designer Kit Kemp. The style is "fresh, modern English". Every room has its own individual design scheme that varies from clean neutrals to more dramatic bold colours. Bathrooms are in solid granite and oak with deep cast iron baths. The drawing room has an African feel and is designed in earthy colours. The library is more romantic in soft neutrals, pale pinks and greens. There is lots of original art by British artists including John Illsley and Peter Clark, as well as a stunning sculpture in the lobby by Carol Sinclair. There are specially designed fabrics by Althea Wilson, quirky book-lights by Dominic Berning and specially commissioned ceramics by Katherine Cuthbert. Both drawing room and library have French sandstone fireplaces, and in the tradition of Firmdale Hotels, there is a fully stocked honesty bar.
