The Capital Hotel Knightsbridge Chauffeur Service
The Capital Hotel in Knightsbridge is one of London’s finest boutique five-star hotels — a discreet, intimate property steps from Harrods and Harvey Nichols. Executive Chauffeur provides transfers to The Capital Hotel from Heathrow Airport, all London airports and across the UK.
About The Capital Hotel
The Capital Hotel is located at 22-24 Basil Street, London, SW3 1AT — a quiet side street directly behind Harrods in the heart of Knightsbridge. The hotel has 49 individually designed rooms and suites and has been a landmark of discreet London luxury since opening in 1971. The Capital is particularly favoured by guests who prioritise privacy and personal service over the grand lobby theatre of larger five-star hotels.
The hotel’s Knightsbridge location makes it well-positioned for guests visiting for shopping, private medical appointments, business in the City or West End, theatre, or sightseeing across Central London. Hyde Park is a five-minute walk. Sloane Square and the King’s Road are ten minutes on foot.
