The Ampersand Hotel offers 111 destination bedrooms on Harrington Road, just seconds away from South Kensington tube station. The hotel opened on 29 August 2012 after an extensive renovation and is one of London’s original Victorian boutique hotels, having originally opened in 1888.
The Ampersand Hotel is a new London experience with individually styled bedrooms and balconied suites, splashes of contemporary art and a ground floor patisserie serving artisanal coffee and Champagne. Located in the original 19th century vault below the luxurious décor of The Ampersand Hotel, Apero offers a taste of the Mediterranean with a tempting menu of sharing plates and cocktails.
Set in the heart of South Kensington, The Ampersand Hotel is on the doorstep of Hyde Park and Knightsbridge, with easy access to the best that London has to offer. Classic English heritage meets a contemporary interior with restored original Victorian features visible in all areas from the impressive high ceilings to the hauntingly beautiful gargoyles.
The Ampersand Hotel’s unique concept is inspired by both the capital’s world-famous cultural district and the iconic ampersand symbol, to illustrate the hotel’s role in connecting its guests to the best of South Kensington. Bedrooms, Suites & Guest Areas Guests enter a kaleidoscopic world with a design aesthetic inspired by the surrounding world - famous museums of Natural History, Science and Victoria & Albert, as well as the Royal Albert Hall, all devoted to botany, music, geometry, ornithology and astronomy. These 5 themes are intricately incorporated throughout The Ampersand Hotel, from the 20-foot staircase installation accented with goose feather wings to the bespoke upholstery featuring flowers and ferns. Individually designed guest rooms and public spaces, spread over seven floors, include 5 suites, all of which have their own balcony offering views of London’s iconic skyline.
