- Area description
- For things to do in London, The Ampersand Hotel is well placed not only in the geographical sense - the hotel is within a minute's walk of South Kensington underground station - but also by virtue of the reception desk. The hotel makes it the business to be connected-to what's hot with the shops, which includes nearby Brompton Cross, Knightsbridge and Chelsea, to what's on in London's museum district on Cromwell Road.

Luxury in a great location
The hotel and staff were outstanding. The location could not have been better...literally steps form the South Kensington tube stop at the intersection of two useful lines.
