This elegant 4-star hotel is on Richmond Hill, overlooking the River Thames and the surrounding meadows. It offers luxurious rooms, free Wi-Fi, free parking, and award-winning cuisine.

Richmond Station is less than a mile away, offering regular services to Victoria and Waterloo. Built in 1865, the stunning Victorian property offers en suite rooms, individually designed to reflect the character of the building. Each room has a safe and a state-of-the-art LCD TV with satellite channels. Some rooms also have views over the river. The award-winning restaurant offers fine British cuisine, made using the freshest seasonal ingredients available locally. The Cellars hold a superb collection of thousands of bottles of wine and port.
