The Capital is a unique townhouse hotel that offers luxury accommodation and personal service in the heart of Knightsbridge. Created by its Scottish proprietor, David Levin, 34 years ago, it is, to this day, a family-run hotel. With 49 suites and rooms, David Levin's vision was to create a grand hotel in miniature. It is for this reason that every piece of furniture, work of art and accoutrement in the hotel is hand-picked by, or from the private collection of the Levin family. The exquisite interiors incorporate the work of some of Britain's best-known designers. The beds were specially commissioned from Savoir, the mattresses hand-made and the sheets the finest Egyptian cotton. The Capital Restaurant is legendary. From its opening in 1971, it became one of the first hotel restaurants in Britain to be awarded a Michelin star. In 2001 the restaurant and Head Chef Eric Chavot were awarded a second Michelin star which is retained to this day. M. Chavot's critically acclaimed, French-inspired cuisine is perfectly complemented by the renowned, extensive and diverse wine list and the exemplary service. The restaurant and bar have recently undergone major redesign and now sport a suave, elegant, luxurious yet understated look- inspired by the 1940s. Regularly attracting discriminating gourmets from around the world, both are a favorite meeting place. The Capital offers three private function rooms accommodating up to 24 people for any occasion at breakfast, lunch or dinner. The Capital is situated in a quiet, yet central, residential street just a few steps from Harrods, Harvey Nichols and the designer shops and stylish boutiques of Sloane Street and Beauchamp Place. The Royal Parks, including Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and St. James's, plus the renowned South Kensington Museums are on the doorstop. Guests have access to a local exclusive health and beauty spa or the afternoons can be spent relaxing in the comfortable sitting room with a traditional English afternoon tea
