The Knightsbridge Hotel is made up of what were once three Victorian townhouses.

Interior design Kit Kemp

Kemp’s classically British aesthetic fills each room with a modern English style, featuring clean neutrals and bold colors.

Art lovers will adore the Carol Sinclair sculpture that rises like stalagmites from the floor, but the art does not overshadow Kemp’s signature harmonious mixture of patterns, fabrics, and furniture styles. Although the guestrooms’ cozy cushions and array of pretty fabrics could be considered quaint, the jazzy contrast of stripes, florals, and geometric shapes injects a thrilling jolt of modernity.
