As you walk up the steps towards the entrance of Durley House, you could actually believe that you were walking into the hallway of a private residence. The wood panelling invites you through to the homely reception area, where you are met by the warmth of the glowing fireplace, surrounded by cushioned fenders, asking you to sit and rest those weary feet.A portrait of Lord Durley looks on - holding many secrets surrounding the history of Durley House. Just off to the right, you are enticed into the cosy sitting room - ideal for taking afternoon tea after an exhaustive day shopping, or perhaps just simply to help yourself to an aperitif from the private bar, before setting out for an evenings entertainment at the theatre or to dine at one of Londons many restaurants.The grand staircase leading from reception soon whisks you away to another world - that of the splendour and comfort of the eleven elegantly furnished suites.

This most exclusive property is located in Sloane Street, the shopping 'mecca' of London, in the heart of Knightsbridge, just steps away from Harrods, Hyde Park and the King's Road.

This all-suite hotel comprises eleven elegantly furnished suites, each with their own kitchen. These upgraded, Luxury suites are the largest of them all, having 2 separate bedrooms, a kitchen and two bathrooms. These suites are very large for any hotel or destination standards, and feel more like a Luxury, turn of the century upmarket apartment than a hotel. Each of the suites has been individually and lavishly decorated in a very traditional English style, using different colour schemes and effects in the walls, and different fabrics for curtains, carpets and bedspreads. Antiques, oil paintings, working fire places and classic furniture have been used ti decorate each of the suites. Each suite has a separate sitting/dinning area and an 'honesty bar'.

This exclusive property doesn't have a restaurant. Breakfast is served in the room via a period 'service elevator', and private dinner/functions are arranged by the hotel and can be served in the suite's dining area or the hotel's meeting/function room.

The lobby is small and feels like stepping into a private English country manor house. Guests will privately check-in by a desk placed next to the working fire place. Very traditional and tastefully decorated.

This is a Georgian period building with a white facade and brass doors. In keeping with the surrounding period buildings of this very exclusive area of London.
