Stay in the heart of London –

One of our top picks in London.With its own Mediterranean restaurant and just a minute’s walk from South Kensington Underground Station, The Ampersand is a cosmopolitan hotel set in a large Victorian building. The hotel also has a gym and games room.

The pillared foyer has a grand staircase lit by an elegant cascading chandelier. The downstairs bar area gives a sophisticated urban feel with its exposed brick arches, and a patisserie menu is available in the hotel’s drawing rooms.

Bedrooms at The Ampersand are individually decorated with bold contemporary wallpaper designs and original Victorian features. Each room has a minibar, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and an en suite bathroom.

As well as the hotel’s well-equipped gym, guests will have access to information regarding horse riding, private trainers and running routes.

Within 2 minutes’ walk of the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, Harrods and Hyde Park are just 15 minutes away by foot.

Kensington and Chelsea is a great choice for travellers interested in architecture, monuments and atmosphere.

This is our guests' favourite part of London, according to independent reviews.

The bed was super comfy. The staff were all really friendly, but not too intrustive. Location was absolutely spot on, you are within walking distance of all the beautiful greenery of London and I'd reccommend the Science Afternoon Tea for a nice lunch with a twist! I will return.. when I'm a millionaire.

When I was checking out the staff asked me to pay for restaurant drinks bill - I didn't even know they have a restaurant. I had only used the hotel to sleep at night, didn't consume anything in the hotel room, or any restaurant of theirs.
Location is great

It was a little awkward using the tea/coffee making in the cupboard in our room. The buffet breakfast had some of the items with crusts/mess around edges from being brought out repeatedly.
The hotel was beautiful. Our room was well appointed and bright.
