Though only 30 years of age, The Capital is something of an institution; London could not do without it! The Capital is tucked away in a residential street, a minute's walk from the great stores of Knightsbridge and boutiques of Beauchamp Place. It is a family-run affair with interiors that incorporate the imagination of acclaimed British designers. The works of art are the collection of the family and the furniture and accoutrements were either handpicked or specially commissioned. It is perhaps more famous as a restaurant than a hotel. The Michelin-rated restaurant is one of the city's best. The Capital's intimate bar is a winner for cocktails or a nightcap, while the cosy Sitting Room is a firm favorite for morning coffee, afternoon tea or light meals. On the other hand, the accommodation sets out to preserve a state of grace, which explains why royalty and statesmen find it so attractive. Hotel also offers meeting rooms. Guests have access to an exclusive health and fitness spa complete with beauty rooms, gym, personal trainers, swimming pool and classes.
