A Chic Stay at Eccleston Square Hotel, London

Nestled in the charming embrace of Eccleston Square, this family-run boutique hotel is ideal as a relaxing base to escape for an adults-only weekend in an iconic postcode. Whether you need a pamper before the big day or are looking for a minimoon hotspot for two, Eccleston Square Hotel comes out on top for a luxury London venue to unwind in the calmest of surroundings.

Meeting at the intersection of Victoria Station, Belgravia and Chelsea, Eccleston Square Hotel sits in the chicest of surroundings for your getaway, offering you an oasis of serenity juxtaposed with a convenient proximity to some classic attractions. From arrival, the Grade II listed, late Georgian townhouse stood out as a beacon of city chic, with friendly faces ready and waiting to assist after a long day in the capital.

We were delighted to see sumptuous MINOTTI furniture dotted around the luxurious waiting area, tempting us to sink into as the team sorted our check-in. Looking around we marvelled at the historical high ceilings and statement design pieces that complement the traditions of the space. 

The high standards of design continued into our guest-room as we whisked off to the Balcony King Room, a tech-savvy and cosy space that offers the ultimate pamper for couples. Much more than just a hotel room to rest your head after a busy day in the city, the room was bursting with modern amenities that made my heart sing and my eyes light up.

Glossy French windows stretched along the back of the room, flooding the room with natural light and gifting your morning coffee with a panoramic vista of the award-winning Eccleston Square Gardens, once the exclusive picnic spot for elite residents like Oscar Wilde and now open to the esteemed guests of Eccleston Square Hotel. These exquisite gardens offer a more private spot for couples to wander hand-in-hand in juxtaposition to the other crowded parks of the capital. Take a perch on your private balcony and watch the world go by with your love by your side, it is the perfect recipe for couples to reconnect during the busy period of wedding planning. 

What makes Eccleston Square Hotel stand out in the London boutique market is their affinity for seamlessly integrating technology into their flawless designs. User-friendly amenities are dotted around the room to ease the guest experience, with a private smart glass wall between the bathroom and bedroom, a 46” 4K state-of-the-art TV, concierge tablet, Sonos Beam sound bar and concealed bathroom mirror TV to level up your evening skincare routine.

The highlight of the room is the king-size Hästens Swedish Massage Bed, an important ingredient in your escapist pamper at the Eccleston Square Hotel. Made from natural materials with a supremely comfortable mattress, the bed features an electronically-adjustable base to massage your body from head to toe, all in the comfort of your private room. With all this luxurious pampering, your stay at Eccleston Square Hotel will be one of the best nights’ sleep of your life. 

We are also proud to share that Eccleston Square Hotel has been recognised as one of 1200 LGBT-friendly hotels as part of the World Rainbow Hotel Collection. This welcoming stamp of approval coupled with the quiet residential location makes it a serene adults-only sanctuary for lovebirds to make their minimoon nest.

For explorers seeking enrichment outside of the hotel doors, there are some lovely spots to peruse in the neighbourhood’s endless supply of beautiful independent bars, restaurants and boutiques. Elizabeth Street in Belgravia boasts one of the prettiest fronts in London, with artisan boutique stores blooming with flower-filled installations and adorable pink buildings to adorn your Instagram feed.
