Unique character & elegant style
Boutique townhouse hotel
Our passion & our purpose
Dating from 1843, our elegant red-brick Victorian townhouse is located in the heart of vibrant Knightsbridge, just a short stroll from Harrods, the Science Museum and the world-famous Victoria & Albert Museum. And yet, our location on a remarkably peaceful, quiet residential road overlooking a private, leafy garden makes our boutique townhouse hotel feel more like a cosy private house than a hotel.
Led by General Manager Michelle Devlin, with over 15 years of service, The Egerton is a family of passionate people, committed to giving the very best in all we do. We are proud to be a part of the family-owned and run Red Carnation Hotel Collection and our warm, inclusive ethos embraces every aspect of our guests’ experiences, which is just one reason why we were recently awarded the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating – and why our treasured guests choose to stay with us time and again.
Expect warm smiles at every turn, a host of thoughtful touches, sumptuous rooms and suites, and delicious cuisine, all encompassed within our luxury townhouse hotel.
Every one of our team members is empowered to make a real difference, offering remarkably considerate service and discrete attention to detail. From freshly-cut flowers in the suites to personalised gifts for special occasions, it is no surprise that guests often remember the names of our staff and ask after them when they return.
Exceeding expectations at every turn, our historic London hotel has a team who take genuine pride in delivering impeccable service. Within walking distance of the V&A and Harrods, enjoy some of the best shopping and culture before returning to our hotel's boutique townhouse experience for London's best Martini in The Bar or the joyful tradition of Afternoon Tea in The Drawing Room.
We are proud of our long-standing relationships with the world-class attractions in our neighbourhood, including the V&A Museum, one of the most important art and design collections in the world. Our close links allow us to create carefully designed experiences for guests, including themed Afternoon Teas, behind-the-scenes tours and exclusive access to sold out shows.
From extraordinary breakfasts, to an indulgent traditional Afternoon Tea, The Egerton provides you with your very own private town house experience. With dozens of London's best restaurants on our doorstep, our knowledgable local experts are on hand to provide recommendations to experience some of the finest dining in the city.
"Located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we offer a boutique retreat in an atmosphere of Victorian elegance, overlooking verdant, private residential gardens.
A short walk from the hotel are world-renowned attractions such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, Science Museum and the Royal Albert Hall, alongside Kensington Palace and Gardens in Hyde Park. Also on our doorstep are the famous department stores Harrods and Harvey Nichols and the many high-end fashion boutiques of Knightsbridge.
We are proud of our award-winning traditional Afternoon Tea and our beautiful Bar, which offers London’s most famous martinis. Our neighborhood, which is a leading art and design district, is echoed throughout the hotel in the original works of art by artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Erte, Ludwig Bemelmans, ‘Peanuts’ cartoon creator Charles M. Schulz, British cartoonist JAK and French caricaturist Sem.
We are wholly committed to sustainability: we use locally sourced produce for our menus, conduct food waste management procedures, have eliminated single-use plastics, and operate entirely without paper.
I have been General Manager of this beautiful townhouse hotel, which was recently recognised with a Forbes Five-Star rating, since 2012 and genuinely consider each member of my team to be part of my Egerton family. My team are chosen for their instinctual desire to care for our guests, including our adored canine visitors. We are here to welcome guests to experience the hotel and all the wonderful places that surround us."
