|
| General Information:The Capital was created by its Scottish proprietor David Levin 35 years ago and, to this day, it is a family-run hotel. From the moment you are greeted by the liveried doorman, you will experience a cordial yet discreet welcome. Familiar with the patronage of royalty, heads of state and international celebrities, The Capital has, over the years, established an enviable reputation for understated exclusivity. The Capital has all the advantages of a large establishment, yet exudes the warmth, intimacy and attention to detail, which only a privately owned hotel can afford. It truly is a grand hotel in miniature.Location:The Capital is situated in a quiet yet central location on Basil Street, Knightsbridge, with Harrods and Harvey Nichols just steps away.Area:The designer shops and stylish boutiques of Sloane Street, Beauchamp Place and the Brompton Arcade may be reached on foot in minutes.The famous South Kensington Museum are on the doorstep, while The Capital's close proximity to the Royal Parks, including Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and St James's, provides the perfect opportunity for a leisurely stroll trough some of the city most picturesque open space - or even an energetic jog.Recreation:The Capital Restaurant is legendary. Located in Basil Street, in the heart of Knightsbridge, it is currently the only London restaurant situated within a hotel to hold two coveted Michelin Stars. Eric Chavot, the Head Chef, has a following across five continents. His innovative style of cooking is acclaimed by even the most discriminating of restaurant critics.Relax in the intimate elegance of The Capital Bar, offering the finest selection of cocktails from champagne through to vodka, cognac and cigars and whisky. The interior of The Capital Bar is glamorous and sophisticated with inspiration from the seriously famous Harry's Bar in Venice. Rooms:There are 49 guest bedrooms in total, including 8 suites, 7 deluxe doubles and one newly refurbished Two Bedroom Suite. All suites and double rooms have super-king sized beds. Each of the 49 air-conditioned suites and bedrooms is individually designed, subtly luxurious and supremely comfortable. Mattresses are handmade and the sheets are of the finest Egyptian cotton, while consoles by each bed control radio, television and lighting.
