In the heart of the bustling capital city is a 5-star hotel haven, a stone’s throw away from Harrods and Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge, introducing The Capital Hotel. They’re one of London’s first boutique hotels with elegantly designed rooms decorated with original art and antique furniture, lending itself to the overall British atmosphere. Alongside an award-winning restaurant, modern facilities and the brilliant The Capital Bar, you’ll be spoilt for choice here.
