The hype
Guests adore the whimsical decor and the magical river views, but often grumble about the parking situation.
The Mitre, Hampton Court
$200-350 / nótt
Pantaðu þetta ef You want a regal-but-relaxed riverside escape directly across from Henry VIII’s front door.
Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- Unbeatable location directly opposite Hampton Court Palace
- Riverside terrace with the world's first 'Whispering Angel' bar
- Quirky, character-filled interiors that feel like a wealthy friend's country home
Stutt samantekt: A charmingly creaky historic boutique that trades modern silence for Tudor vibes and river views.
Farið yfir af @conciergekate: I stayed here for a quick family trip and was blown away. Usually 'family-friendly' means compromising on style, but this place nails both. The kids loved the bunks, and I loved the freestanding tub. Being steps from the Palace was just the cherry on top.

Reality check
The 'river view' rooms are absolutely worth the upgrade; road-facing rooms can suffer from traffic noise.
- You are a history buff visiting Hampton Court Palace
- You love a good riverside sundowner

💡The 'complimentary' King's Ginger liqueur in the room is a potent and lovely touch.

💡You can rent a private boat directly from the hotel's jetty.
💡The 'Coppernose' café is named after Henry VIII's nickname (from his debased copper currency).
💡Room service stops at 10pm, so don't plan on a midnight feast.
