Boutique Hotel
A hop away from the V&A Museum and South Kensington shopping scene, The Ampersand has long been an icon of London hospitality. Originally built as the Norfolk Hotel in 1888, the hotel emerged from a complete refurbishment and design overhaul in 2012 immediately apparent from the bright lobby alit in marble floors and black iron staircase that's the fashionable spine of the structure. A British countryside décor of floral, monochromatic prints accents a series of public spaces known as the Drawing Room with its afternoon tea service and early evening cocktail hour. Popular with locals and in-house residents, Apero restaurant is an all-day eatery offering full morning breakfast as well as lunch and dinner menus contrasting Mediterranean dishes with regional ingredients.
The Room
A total of 11 rooms include entry-level doubles with double beds tucked under grey, mohair headboards amongst astronomy-inspired décor theme. Deluxe rooms exude a roomier layout with purple velvet winged headboards, oversize sash windows and bevel-tiled bathrooms arranged in Miller Harris toiletries. Deluxe studio and suites come with in-room perks like a freestanding bathtub with ‘Mary Poppins' views across London’ or separate living area large enough for longer business stays.
