Located in the very heart of Knightsbridge – just a stone’s throw from Harrods, Harvey Nichols and the Kings Road – Egerton House is, nonetheless, a haven of comfort and relaxation.

The smart, town house-style façade gives way to fabulously rich furnishings and impeccable décor, creating a genteel opulence that’s guaranteed to soothe your troubles away.

The guest rooms are simply magnificent: equipped with hand-stitched mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets, they also have gorgeous marble bathrooms, direct dial telephones, free Wi-Fi internet access, an iPod docking station, cable TV and air conditioning.

The service is superlative, too. Small touches such as the pre-arrival preference form, ensure that everything is just the way you like it, and staff members go out of their way to make your stay a pleasant one. Don’t miss the relaxing bar area, with fabulous cocktails mixed by barman Antonio, aka Mr Martini!

The hotel itself does not have an onsite spa or gym however, does enjoy a partnership with the nearby LA Fitness Platinum spa and health club (five minutes walk away in Pelham Street, South Kensington) which gives you all the facilities you need. A day pass to LA Fitness includes free use of the club's swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room, exercise studio, cardio theatre, and fitness room. Plus you can also book a personal trainer and a crèche/kids' club.
