The Capital Experience

London's original luxury boutique hotel in the heart of Knightsbridge

Tucked onto quiet, tree-lined Basil Street in prestigious Knightsbridge, The Capital Hotel is one of London's first and finest five-star boutique hotels. Positioned literally steps from Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and the haute-couture houses of Sloane Street, this quintessential English sanctuary places guests within easy walking distance of Hyde Park, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Royal Albert Hall.

“As one of London's pioneering boutique hotels, The Capital pairs timeless British country charm with tailored, instinctive service and Michelin-caliber gastronomy.”

Across its 73 keys, each room and suite is individually styled with original artwork, antique furniture, and ultra-comfortable Hypnos mattresses. For longer stays or traveling families desiring residential independence, The Capital Apartments offer 11 self-contained residences with state-of-the-art kitchens and private street entrances. The property is crowned by an extraordinary 157 sqm two-story Penthouse boasting floor-to-ceiling glass and a private terrace overlooking the Knightsbridge skyline.

Culinary heritage runs deep at The Capital. Acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Tom Brown—who previously served as Head Chef at Outlaw's before founding Cornerstone—returns to helm the intimate 28-cover Restaurant at The Capital, delivering bold, produce-driven British seafood and tasting menus. Guests also unwind in the moonlight-themed Capital Bar with rare cognacs and artisanal cocktails, or take afternoon tea in The Library.
