My husband and I, along with our traveling companions, made the Beaufort Hotel home for our short 3-day stay in London. We could not have chosen a better location. This small, boutique hotel on a residential cul-de-sac has easy access to the tube (yes, my husband made me ride a stinkin' subway while I was on vacation) and is an easy 5-minute walk to Harrods. Location doesn't come cheap, especially when you're traveling on the pathetic American dollar, but Knightsbridge might arguably be one of the more expensive neighborhoods. Considering this, the Beaufort really is an exceptional hotel for the price.
We upgraded to a deluxe room to get a king-sized bed, but the room size was very comparable to the double our companions were in. The bathrooms in both rooms are unusually large and very modern. The rooms were clean and well-appointed with a writing desk and sitting area. The beds were comfy with nice linens. Complimentary bottled water was in the rooms, as well.
The complimentary afternoon tea and scones was a very nice touch. You could opt for service in either your room or the lounge. I was surprised to see an open bar available every evening as well. There was a nice selection of spirits, too. I would have preferred breakfast to be included in my rate over cocktails, but that's probably because I was not able to drink for much of the trip.
And speaking of breakfast, their continental breakfast was very nice. Your choice of beverages, fruit, yogurt, cereal, and breads. Best croissants I had on my entire trip! I believe it was somewhere around £14. A hot breakfast was also available.
We are planning a return trip to London in the next year, and may very well find ourselves staying here again!
