Food and drink at Knightsbridge Hotel

- Last orders You can plunder the honesty bar day and night.
- Room service There’s a 24 hour à la carte menu available, which includes three-course meals.
- Hotel bar There’s no formal bar, but the in-room minibars are superbly stocked and there’s a huge and gleaming honesty bar beside the library, packed with full fridges, row upon row of premium spirits and everything a show-off mixologist might need.

Our favourite rooms
The Knightsbridge Suite is the hotel’s showpiece, with a sumptuous canopy bed (complete with cheekily mirrored headboard) – all topped with a massive wrought-iron chandelier that hangs in front of the fireplace. Deluxe Double 209 looks out over the rooftops of Knightsbridge and the iconic (but inexplicable) Harrods chimney. As you’d expect from Kit Kemp, all rooms are individually and lavishly designed, with running themes including tailor’s dummies, oversized headboards and artworks of Peter Clark’s West Highland Terrier (a nod to nearby Harrods).
Packing tips
Bring a credit card with plenty of headroom and a bag with space to stash – Knightsbridge is the motherland of luxury shopping. Actually, forget the bag, Mulberry’s at the end of the street.
