Enjoy the V&A ~ Courtesy of The Egerton House Hotel
14/12/2009
The Victoria and Albert in London is one of the world's greatest museums of art and design. Visitors come from all over the world to see the regularly changing exhibitions, shows and displays. As the five-star Egerton House Hotel in fashionable Knightsbridge is a mere five minute's walk away, the hotel has created a special experience to help art lovers make the most of these forthcoming attractions.
The V&A boasts collections that are unrivalled in their scope and diversity. You can explore 3000 years of amazing artefacts - including ceramics, furniture, fashion, glass, jewelry, metalwork, photographs, sculpture, textiles and paintings - from many of the world's richest cultures. What's more, every year they host a series of fascinating exhibitions that explore everything from book illustrations to embroidery and the work of silversmiths to baroque altarpieces.
After a day feasting your eyes and stimulating your brain, you don't want a long and weary journey home, and the nearby Egerton House Hotel, named 'Best Small Hotel in the UK' at the Daily Mail Property Awards, provides the perfect place to kick off your shoes and put your feet up. It's almost directly opposite the V&A, and a very welcome haven of luxury and comfort for those whose energy is flagging after a hard day of culture!
To make this prospect even more appealing the hotel has created a special package for those that want to make the most of the V&A and its shows. As well as two nights' accommodation in a beautifully appointed room, guests will enjoy Full English Breakfast on both mornings, two tickets to the exhibition of their choice, a catalogue detailing everything on show and a complimentary copy of the magnificently produced book.
On one day guests are also treated to The Egerton's Traditional Afternoon Tea for two in the cosy but elegant drawing room. They can indulge with a delicious selection of finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with Devonshire clotted cream, preserves, fruit tartlets, mini-cheese cakes, chocolate orange cupcakes, chocolate tray-bakes and revive themselves with a wide selection of teas.
Overlooking a beautiful tree-lined garden square in Knightsbridge, The Egerton House Hotel is conveniently located just a stone's throw from Harrods and the fashionable shops of the Brompton Road and Chelsea, ten minutes from the West End theatres and a 30-minute limousine ride from London's Heathrow Airport. This luxury townhouse boasts 30 rooms and suites, each individually designed and equipped with the latest technology. All bedrooms have an abundance of natural light and many are overlooking the garden square. Ideal for enjoying the best of vibrant London, the chic hotel is renowned for its impeccable levels of service, charm and attention to detail. The Egerton House Hotel is part of Red Carnation - a luxury collection of five and four star family-run boutique hotels - and a member of Preferred Boutique.
