The Capital

What makes the Capital particularly special to discerning guests, who return time and time again, is the personal atmosphere. The Capital was created by its Scottish proprietor David Levin in 1971 and is to this day a family-run hotel. With the world-renowned stores of Harrods and Harvey Nichols on the doorstep and Hyde Park just a few minutes� walk away, The Capital is a tremendous base from which to explore. From the moment you are greeted by the liveried doorman, you will experience a cordial yet discreet welcome. Familiar with the patronage of royalty, heads of state and international celebrities, The Capital has, over the years, established an enviable reputation for understated exclusivity.

The Capital Restaurant is legendary. Located on Basil Street, in the heart of Knightsbridge, the Capital Restaurant holds two coveted Michelin Stars. Jerome Ponchelle, the Head Chef, has a following across five continents. His innovative style of cooking is acclaimed by even the most discriminating of restaurant critics. You can relax in the intimate and elegant atmosphere of The Capital Bar, offering the finest selection of cocktails from champagne to vodka, cognac and whisky. The Capital Bar�s interior design is inspired by the famous Harry’s Bar in Venice. A mix of shiny nickel, paneled leather and granite gives a feeling of understated and exquisite glamour.

The Capital is situated in a quiet yet central location on Basil Street, Knightsbridge, with Harrods and Harvey Nichols just steps away. The designer shops and stylish boutiques of Sloane Street, Beauchamp Place and the Brompton Arcade may be reached by foot in minutes. The famous South Kensington Museum are on the doorstep, while The Capital�s close proximity to the Royal Parks, including Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and St James�s, provides the perfect opportunity for a leisurely stroll through some of the city�s most picturesque open spaces - or even an energetic jog.
