Set across two beautifully restored Georgian townhouses overlooking Cadogan Gardens, it offers just 14 suites, blending intimate luxury with classic British style. You can enjoy Japanese dining at the Fuji Grill or start the evening with a sake tasting at the in-house bar before heading out into Knightsbridge.

The Drawing Room and Library are the ideal spots to relax and enjoy the very best of Kemp's interior design.
