The 8 Best Hotels in Knightsbridge

Knightsbridge is the gold-plated, five star, celebrity hang-out, bespoke centre of London. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the best hotels in Knightsbridge are some of the best hotels in the entire city. With a wide range of accommodation to choose from our hotel experts have scoured the area to bring you a concise collection of the crème de la crème. Whether you want to stay in one of the area's 'big name' hotels or you would rather something a little more discrete, there is a good selection to choose from in our collection. So why not browse through our list to start planning your next city break?

For a “Big Name”

One of the first so-called design hotels in London, the COMO The Halkin is sophisticated and Italian influenced, with its tastefully muted colours and giant beds. Unsnooty, despite its grandness and euro-coolness.
The Berkeley, right next to Hyde Park has a fabulous spa, a rooftop pool, an iconic bar and a doorman who dresses like Mr Bates in Downton Abbey. The traditional rooms offer cosseted five-star peace, and the service is impeccable. Plus you've got the added draw of Marcus at The Berkeley, one of London's best restaurants.
We couldn't have a list of recommendations for the best hotels in Knightsbridge without including the Mandarin Oriental, situated on Knightsbridge itself. In an area bristling with luxury hotels, it is one of the grand-daddies of super-luxury. And the location, overlooking Hyde Park, the service and the facilities are out of this world.

For luxury

The Franklin is a small luxury hotel in the heart of Knightsbridge. This is a seriously stylish property that will suit anyone who likes to exist slightly off the radar. Sumptuous rooms and suites boast rich silks and velvets, Frette linens, and marble bathrooms as standard. With access to a private garden and an excellent Italian restaurant — this is a spoiling stay.
The Hari is a five-star luxury stay set in upmarket Belgravia. Designer interiors ensure seriously stylish accommodation complete with indulgent marble bathrooms. Plus there's Italian fine dining at Il Pampero and a buzzing bar. Hip, happening and smart!

For a bolthole

The Beaufort has stylish interiors and fantastic complimentary extras including breakfast, cream tea every afternoon and a resident’s bar — perfect for a pre-dinner G&T!
Hotelier and designer Kit Kemp's 44 room Knightsbridge Hotel is cosy and modern. Bedrooms are decorated with rich fabrics and comfortably thick canopy beds. There’s no restaurant but there’s no shortage of them in the area. A highlight is the guests' library which is a soothing place to sit and recharge your batteries before going out for dinner.
If you’re looking for one of the best hotels in Knightsbridge for privacy, then try No 11 Cadogan Gardens, a hidden gem on a quiet residential street. The decor is lavish, with plush fabrics, Murano chandeliers and gilt-edged mirrors everywhere. The restaurant, which serves modern British food is more sparingly decorated with black and white photographs of starry past guests.
