It's that polite-to-a-fault service, ornate furniture, and lengthy afternoon tea sessions that true fans of the Brits just can't live without. They're all here at their finest, at The Egerton House Hotel.

Welcome to Knightsbridge, the much-adored, high-end fashion strip that defines the term "posh." Gardens, the hurried clip-clop of heels as shoppers’ dash about, and the often-seen Union Jack let you know you're most definitely in London. But stop for a moment: what's behind that pair of ornate wooden double doors? It's The Egerton House Hotel.

A steadfast supporter of a more proper time, The Egerton House Hotel offers 28 rooms and suites, original art from Picasso, Matisse, and Toulouse-Lautrec, plus an Afternoon Tea that'll knock your socks off in a dignified manner of course. Modern day amenity lovers, don’t worry, Wi-Fi and on-demand films are on offer as well.

After waking in your bespoke room and taking a generous stroll around the shops of Knightsbridge, make sure to make it back to the hotel for the previously-mentioned Afternoon Tea. Flakey fresh scones, Devonshire clotted cream, preserves, tiny cheesecakes, and of course tea, make for a day that's not easily forgettable.
