Stay in the heart of London –

One of our top picks in London – and a guest favourite.
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.

This property also has one of the best-rated locations in London! Guests are happier about it compared to other properties in the area.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.

This property is also rated for the best value in London! Guests are getting more for their money when compared to other properties in this city.

For the price, breakfast should’ve been included. Would’ve been really lovely if there was a sauna or at least bath tubs in some rooms.
Location close to South Kensington station was great, some good bites nearby, bus stations also close, heated bathroom floors and the awesome rain shower head were great. Very comfortable bed and beautiful hotel. If you want afternoon tea, their restaurant has one of the top rated ones.
