Three London hotels are named among the best-rated in Europe – and one is ranked eighth best in the world – in TripAdvisor’s list of Hot New Hotels.
The Ampersand Hotel in London’s South Kensington is revealed as second in Europe’s hot new hotels and eighth in the world, while the InterContinental London Westminster and the West End’s Café Royal placed fourth and seventh respectively in Europe. The TripAdvisor lists are based on hotels that have opened in the past 12 months.
“TripAdvisor has identified the new hotels that have made lasting impressions on our community since opening their doors,” said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer at TripAdvisor. “Whether travelling internationally or close to home, we encourage travellers to check out, or ‘check in’ to these new hotels on the scene that are getting high reviews from other travellers.”
The Ampersand Hotel, the highest ranked UK hotel, is inspired by London’s famous museum district and its interior design runs along five themes: botany, music, geometry, ornithology and astronomy. Roberto Pajares, general manager at The Ampersand Hotel said: “We’re absolutely delighted to receive this incredible recognition from the world’s largest travel site, especially as it comes straight from the travellers themselves. As an independent boutique hotel with only 111 rooms, being one of the best rated new hotels in the world is a truly proud moment”
