Chic Boutique Experience

opulent interiorsstylish wardrobeshort walk
The opulent interiors designed by Anoushka Hempel created an elegant atmosphere. I found the fabric-covered wardrobes and Frette bedding in my room particularly stylish. The hotel is near Knightsbridge and Sloane Street. A short walk got me to Harrods in about ten minutes. I enjoyed the building's quiet location on a lovely street.
The water pressure in the shower was not ideal.
