Lime Tree Hotel

Lime Tree Hotel, Belgravia, London - Explore & Book

"Belgravia is now synonymous with affluence, yet not so long ago instead of gracious terraces and imposing stucco-fronted houses you'd find pastures, orchards, even swamps. This hotel - Lime Tree by Room Mate Hotels, to give its full name - occupies a pair of Grade II-listed Georgian townhouses in a classic row built 200 years ago as part of the Grosvenor Estate. At the turn of the 20th century they were conjoined to create a guesthouse. Notable neighbours have included Mozart and Ian Fleming. The hotel has an excellent reputation for fair value and friendly service: it was family-run for 30 years and (even though it no longer is) it still feels that way today. Interiors showcase understated chic, and the traditional breakfasts are hearty. There are 26 rooms, spread across all 4 floors, and while none are exactly the same in terms of layout and size, all share a restful elegance and have contemporary bathrooms. There's also a guest lounge, a casual cafe, and good-sized walled garden to retreat to in the warmer months. The neighbourhood is largely residential with a village feel, and you're in a sweet spot for accessing eateries, transport, shopping and sights. A real gem. Highs Well priced for SW1 A lovely welcoming vibe; you feel right at home from the get go The central location: you're 7 mins walk from Victoria's rail and coach stations, and 5 mins from Sloane Square Single, twin and triple rooms available, as well as as doubles The walled garden is a lovely oasis in summer: we really enjoyed breakfasting out here Lows Breakfast isn't reserved for guests, so make sure to book ahead Smaller rooms are definitely compact There's no lift You're in central London so may experience some street noise; that said, the area is pretty quiet at night They often apply a 3-night minimum stay (in May-Oct)" - Nadine Mellor
