Nestled in the heart of Belgravia, two lavish Georgian townhouses combine gloriously on Ebury Street to form the elegant base that is Lime Tree Hotel. Its prime location is masterfully balanced or rather complemented by the hotel’s understated refinement and refreshingly homely, rustic charm that lends a warmth to affairs right from the get-go! Smart bedrooms hint at luxury without being lavish boasting Farrow & Ball hues and further enhanced by crisp linen and bold wallpaper from Andrew Martin. This is a fabulous base for any London adventure and the plethora of patrons from huge groups of friends and family to young couples from all around the world confirms the hotel’s versatile offerings.
The rooms, much like the lobby and the space downstairs, have the overwhelming feel of a country house. Aforementioned Andrew Martin wallpaper infuses all rooms with a rural-cool vibe and garden views from a variety of rooms gives a remarkably rustic feel in the middle of Central London. Simple, clean designs dominate and add to the homelike ambience to put hotel guests in their comfort zone.
There are plenty of breakfast options all Victoria area but we recommend heading downstairs to the The Buttery – a fabulous brunch spot complete with a secret country garden at the back. It is testament to the philosophy that is central to Lime House – a laidback restaurant wuth comfort food ranging from Nutella French toast and American pancakes to heirloom tomato salads and skillets of shakshuka made for sharing – all to be enjoyed with a side of their famous layered roast potatoes. A visit to The Buttery is an absolute must much like a trip on the London Underground whilst in the fair city – It’s just got to be done and experienced!
There is also a pretty courtyard garden complete with lounge and deck chairs in the summer. There’s also The Snug, a cute little event space which offers loads of personality for private parties and launch events. The prime location means that Lime Tree Hotel is a walk way from Victoria Railway Station and Victoria Coach Station as well as the wonderful shops of Elizabeth Street and then for culture vultures, there is also the famous Apollo Victoria Theatre for a taste of the West End! The Lime Tree ticks a lot of boxes and shines through as an ideal base for trips to London.
