Frommer's Review
We'd be delighted to check in here for the season. Only 45m (148 ft.) from Harrods department store, this family-run townhouse hotel is also at the doorstep of the shops of Knightsbridge and the "green lung" of Hyde Park. There are 49 bedrooms here, and while you get many of the luxuries and services of a larger hotel, warmth, intimacy, and attention to detail are the hallmarks of this oasis. Famed designer Nina Campbell furnished the spacious bedrooms with sumptuous fabrics, art, and antiques. David Linley, nephew of Her Majesty, also assisted in the design. The liveried doorman standing outside has welcomed royalty, heads of state, and international celebrities to this hotel. For dining, you don't have far to go.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
