The Petersham Hotel

The Petersham is a four-star Victorian hotel on Richmond Hill, boasting fabulous views of the Thames and the surrounding woodland that inspired even artists such as JMW Turner. One of the oldest hotels in the area, The Petersham houses 61 rooms and suites, all furnished in a tasteful traditional style, with intricate wallpaper, plush fabrics and plenty of natural light spilling through the windows.

The timeless, elegant accommodation ranges from cosy Standard Bedrooms to Superior Doubles and the ultimate in luxury, the Penthouse Suite. All of the rooms are beautifully appointed and feature amenities such as free WiFi, LCD TVs and ensuite bathrooms, with views of the river and meadows providing a romantic, countryside setting.

The Petersham also has an award-winning restaurant serving contemporary European fare. In the elegant, retro-inspired space with floor-to-ceiling windows, diners can enjoy the breathtaking river views while indulging in a delicious meal. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch, with the menu inspired by European cuisine and spanning a range of popular dishes made from seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients. The Petersham also has an extensive wine cellar to complement your meal. A children's menu and afternoon tea, a specialty of the patisserie-inclined head chef, are also available.

The hotel also offers various business facilities, from boardrooms to meeting rooms and banquet halls, and is also a popular choice as a wedding venue. Private dining is available as well, and events such as tastings and team buildings can also be arranged. With its combination of stunning views, sophisticated atmosphere and delicious cuisine, it's no wonder The Petersham is considered one of the top spots in Richmond.
