Belgraves, a Thompson Hotel, arrives in London’s Belgravia neighborhood on February 1st. Designed by Tara Bernerd of Tara Bernerd & Partners, interiors offer distinct touches of New York coupled with traditional British hospitality. An open loft-like lobby houses a large fireplace and bold art installations, while the lounge lobby features an eclectic library and cozy hideaway areas. The adjacent Hix Belgravia restaurant offers a menu inspired by chef and food writer Mark Hix, while the mezzanine level plays host to Mark’s Bar and leads to a stylish cigar garden.


In the hotel’s 85 guestrooms, a palette of gray tones and textures (such as the silver-gray floors) makes a sleek statement, while hues of aubergine on walls create a warm atmosphere. Elegant marble bathrooms finished with smoked glass and brass beaded curtains add a luxurious finishing touch. EPR Architects also provided design services on the hotel.
