The Ampersand Hotel

The Ampersand Hotel draws on its South Ken locale: bird sketches that could have flown from the Natural History Museum, and musical motifs that riff on the Royal Albert Hall. The beds are blissfully comfy, and there’s an excellent basement restaurant with pretty cocktails, a tempting menu and an affable head chef.

The hotel’s location takes some beating: just a hop and a skip from South Kensington Tube station, which is on the District, Circle and Piccadilly lines (www.tfl.gov.uk), within walking distance of some of the city’s finest museums, shops and galleries.
