Though it’s not immediately apparent from street level, The Knightsbridge Hotel (part of the luxurious Firmdale portfolio) boasts two sedate rooms that non-guests can visit for a spot of R&R.
Announce your intentions at the hotel reception & they’ll take you through to the Library – a flower-filled oasis full of books that is perfect for a restorative pot of tea away from the
Knightsbridge shopping circus. Alternatively, head through to the Drawing Room, with its bright animal-print furnishings, funky ornaments & neutral, textured walls. Here you can indulge in one
of Firmdale’s signature afternoon teas (cucumber & balsamic sandwiches, scones, a selection of homemade cakes & loose-leaf tea), or treat yourself to a glass of bubbly before duty – or the
shops – call once again.
