Boutique Hotel in South Kensington – The Ampersand




Rooms all feature complimentary WiFi, tea/coffee making facilities, soft drinks, 24-hour room service, LCD TVs with movies on demand, a media hub, laptop safe and air-conditioning. In a nod to the local French influence, toiletries are by L’Occitane.
The bathroom was like a Dior dress, petite, chic and clad in black and white; and the quirky addition of a rubber duck meant that my solo bath time was more playful than it otherwise would have been.
After a blissful night’s sleep, I strolled down to Apero – The Ampersand’s Mediterranean restaurant – for breakfast. With cooked options also available, the buffet was the best I have seen in a long time. Everything was homemade and really fresh – my tortilla was excellent!
London has thousands of hotels but if you are looking for a boutique hotel that is both quiet and central, has a strong sense of individuality combined with great service and an attention to comfort and detail, then The Ampersand is well worth looking at.

I find hotel breakfasts can be so disappointing, even in nice places so it’s great to hear that this is a good one! The rooms look great, I like the styling and that bed looks VERY comfy!
London has always been on my list of must-visit places. I’d love to stay at Ampersand whenever we get around to planning that trip – the place looks and sounds incredible! 🙂
This looks really lovely. Friends of mine who travel to London regularly and particularly love South Kensington will definitely appreciate this hotel, the location is excellent and I really like the styling of the rooms and public spaces. And that neighbourhood is so good for museums, lots of restaurants and great public transport links.
This one is right by the tube too, yet not on that really busy bit of road. Definitely worth trying the afternoon tea if you haven’t done so already – I think it might appeal to your inner child Kavey!
