The Capital Hotel

The Capital Hotel, with its elegant appointments and reputation for hosting the Royal Family, is a delightful place to find yourself while in London. With a long list of accolades, including being touted among the "Best Hotels in the World" by Travel + Leisure, The Capital Hotel's envious Knightsbridge location cannot be beat. Beneath its lavish roof are just 49 rooms including a handful of suites adorned in fabrics created at the hands of Ralph Lauren and Nina Campbell, with antique furnishings thoughtfully placed. The marble baths are magnificent with invigorating showers and ample-sized tubs.

The Michelin-starred Capital Restaurant offers a selection of contemporary French cuisine coupled with a sumptuous wine list. Sign up for the hotel's occasional master class, - an enrichment lesson that includes lunch, wine tasting and a culinary lesson with the chef. And what would a trip to London be without taking tea? The hotel's lovely Sitting Room offers a proper afternoon tea with all the accouterments. Step across the hotel threshold and into the center of Knightsbridge, home to Harrods and Harvey Nichols, whose food halls are filled with people and delights. Take a stroll along the River Thames or go around aboard the London Eye, the fabulous ferris wheel right on the river's edge. Everything is in reach when you stay at The Capital Hotel, including round-the-clock access to the hotel's accommodating staff.
