The Mitre, Hampton Court, Kingston upon Thames

Set on the River Thames opposite Hampton Court Palace, the Miter Hotel has a rich history as a place to stay, dating back as far as Charles II in 1665.

Following a complete transformation, the new Miter is a sophisticated and relaxed luxury boutique hotel with two restaurants and bars, a unique events space, a riverside terrace featuring the World’s first Whispering Angel Wine Concession, vintage food truck, private boat launch and 36-individually designed bedrooms and suites.

With a stunning new look from interior designers Harding Read, the property combines quirky British sensibility with elegant authentic luxury.

Central London is a 40-minute train journey away, while Heathrow Airport can be reached with 30 minutes’ drive. A number of riverside restaurants and pubs can also be found just 5 minutes’ walk from the hotel.
