The Bottom Line:

Centrally situated within Knightsbridge, the Egerton House Hotel sits near Ederton Gardens, Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace. Guests loved everything from the complimentary glass of bubbly upon arrival to guestrooms equipped with fresh fruit, bottled water and personalized greeting cards. Equally impressive was the hotel’s nightly turndown service, during which bath side candles are lit and pillowtop chocolates are laid out. Aside from in-room displays of famed artist’s original works (from Picasso to Matisse), guestrooms boast of iPod docking stations, Wi-Fi and fully stocked mini-bars. With a professionally friendly staff, killer on-site cocktail lounge and impeccably clean (uniquely designed) rooms, dissatisfied guests were virtually nonexistent.
