The Ampersand, here is my favorite hotel for its elegance, refinement and unique interior decoration. It is ideally located in the French Quarter of South Kensington and not far from famous London museums and department stores.
This charming hotel will undoubtedly appeal to romantics who want to offer this setting for a Valentine's day !

Presentation of The Ampersand hotel
The Ampersand is a 5-star hotel located in upscale Kensington, in an elegant 19th century Victorian building. On a human scale, the hotel focuses above all on a sense of hospitality, a chic and modern decoration and quality products.
Although The Ampersand is a 5 star hotel, here the luxury is not ostentatious. All luxury codes are respected, but in a less formal and formal atmosphere.
Indeed the very colorful decoration harmonizes with the Victorian architecture and gives a more modern and "light" atmosphere. Concerned about the well-being of its customers, the hotel offers a gym, and more unusual in this type of establishment, a games room with a ping pong table 😉
If, like me, you appreciate refinement with an offbeat spirit then you will be seduced by this little gem which offers a cozy, relaxed and ... romantic atmosphere ...
Finally, The Ampersand is a member of the Small Luxury Hotel (SHL) group which brings together small independent luxury hotels and strives to provide the best quality and variety of hotels in the world: avant-garde design hotels, 17th century palaces, lodges, private islands, spas, golf resorts ...
