The Portrait
Cheval Place is a mews behind the Brompton Road, which means you are four minutes from Harrods and on a street where nothing happens. Knightsbridge does this well and the arrangement here makes the most of it: the accommodation is spread across mews houses, townhouses, apartments and cottages rather than stacked in one block.
The range runs from one bedroom to three-bedroom townhouses, with a two-bedroom penthouse and a garden villa among them. Each building has its own character because each is a different building — that is not a decorating claim, it is the plan. Reception is at number 15 and staffed around the clock.
The rate is not published; central reservations take the dates on the number above.
Who it suits: a stay of a week or more in SW7 where you would rather come home to your own front door on a mews than a lift lobby.
