Fodor's Expert Review The Beaufort

This family-owned boutique hotel on a quiet cul-de-sac appears in the little black books of many fashionistas—Harrods and Harvey Nicks are just a short walk from the front door. The high-ceilinged, contemporary rooms have muted sophisticated colors and a plethora of thoughtful extras: mineral water and cookies when you arrive, free soft drinks, and a complimentary afternoon cream tea. Breakfast is brought to your room. Beds in deluxe rooms are huge, and junior suites have small sitting rooms filled with cutting-edge designs. Four rooms have wrought-iron balconies. The exceptionally helpful staff make everything run as smooth as silk.
