This newly refurbished 18th-century Georgian townhouse is in a great location, just moments from Royal Richmond Park with sweeping vistas over Petersham Meadows. It's a view that has inspired musicians, writers and artists, including JMW Turner.
Inside, you'll find an award-winning restaurant, bar and terrace. Choose from the Georgian Collection bedrooms, which have the characteristics and colour palettes of original townhouses, hand-stitched Heal's beds and underfloor heating, or go for the Hill Collection, a series of bright, compact rooms with smart TVs, extra sound-proofing and the same luxuriant beds. Enjoy a delicious afternoon tea for two with a glass of champagne for each person on the day of your arrival, and a dinner allocation of £35pp (food only) on the second night of your stay.
Here, you are close enough to the city but far enough to feel like a world away. You could hire a bike to explore the wonderful park and its roaming deer, walk along the Thames, head into historic Richmond to sample its upscale restaurants, visit nearby Kew Gardens, or opt for a sundowner on the terrace.
Two nights from £225pp*
Petersham Meadows is ideally located for a riverside stroll - if you're lucky you may also spot the visiting grazing herd.
Set amidst the leafy Surrey landscapes, stroll around Richmond Park or along the River Thames. Both Kew Gardens and Ham House are less than a 30-minute drive away.

Visitors, business travellers, groups and bridal parties all check in for the leafy location, food and calm, considered spaces. We loved the hushed atmosphere and attention to detail in the rooms; and making the most of the outdoor terrace on a warm summer's evening.
The hotel boasts green initiatives including dimmers and low energy lighting, while each of the Grade II-listed windows have been sympathetically restored to retain heat. Four-legged guests can be booked into any room type and receive a welcome pack including a blanket, water bowl and some special treats.
