What it’s good at
Listed
Custom Kingston bicycles and neighborhood books selected with Belgravia Books for exploring.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Sloane Street and Knightsbridge station are a two-minute walk away, and leafy Lowndes Square sits just around the corner.
The rooms
Bedrooms use tailored fabrics and still-life art prints, creating quiet spaces with views over Lowndes Street.
At the table
AVI Bistrot serves lobster rolls and entrecôte baguettes across green marble tables. Guests gather for drinks at the curved wood bar.
How it began
Carlton Tower Limited built the hotel in 1965 as an understated companion to the tower across the street.
