THE BEAUFORT - ELEGANT TOWNHOUSE - £££


THIS CHIC PIED DE TERRE in swanky Knightsbridge overlooks a pretty tree-lined square, and can justly claim to be a perfect little hotel in a perfect place. No wonder The Beaufort has been showered in awards. Art lovers will be in heaven here – the world’s largest collection of English watercolour paintings adorns the walls. Although you’re in the heart of the capital, The Beaufort has all the laid-back charm of a country house, and you’ll be quite happy to spend hours curled up in the lounge on a sumptuous sofa, only moving to help yourself to a complimentary glass of bubbly from the residents’ bar. Impeccably done out rooms are stocked with little extras like complimentary chocolates and biscuits. Feel like a breath of fresh air and a touch of culture? Staff are ready to advise on anything from theatre tickets to personal shopping, while the V&A, Science and Natural History museums are a just short stroll away.
