Hotel Review
Richmond Hill Hotel, Richmond upon Thames, London
Situated atop Richmond Hill, steps from world famous Richmond Park and surrounded by a medieval landscape, Richmond Hill Hotel is a tranquil out-of-town stopover combining traditional Georgian charm with modern elegance. Established in 1726, the four star townhouse hotel features chic bedrooms with original period features, an award-winning restaurant, a bar and al fresco terrace. Steeped in history and a favourite of royalty, senior politicians and many A-listers, the building is nestled in an idyllic landmark conservation area that's easily accessible from central London, Richmond town centre and Heathrow airport. Indeed, the charm of the hotel's heritage is the perfect complement to the stunningly natural beauty of the local surroundings.
