Cheval Apartments Knightsbridge

Our work team stayed there for 2 weeks having flown in from New Zealand. We had a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in the Mews which afforded a private patio and garden. The mews townhouses are all located within a locked compound area (very tastefully designed and full of trees). Only 10 mins walk from Hyde Park, across the road from one of London's best butchers (I'm told Jamie Oliver gets his meat there!) 100 metres from Harrods and less than 30 sec to the local pub (try the pork scratchings with a cold ale!) The rooms were all modern, fantastic kitchen facilities and large lounge area. They had wireless, so we were all able to access internet. I would recommend it again in a heat beat. In fact, our team are going back there next month. Hopefully this time we won't have to watch the All Blacks being beaten by the French!

We stayed at the Cheval Apartments (serviced hotel) the first two weeks of Jan. 07. The property company also owns Phoenix House in Sloane Square where we stayed in Nov/Dec. 06. We had a two bedroom townhome located within a gated courtyard on Montpelier Mews around the corner from Harrods. The two storey townhome was newly built, about 1000 sq. ft.; has two full bathrooms plus a small powder room in the main entrance and decorated in a neutral, contemporary style. The kitchen had granite counter tops and Miele appliances. We also had a patio area/small yard which we didn't use because of the cool weather. The property and the service we received were outstanding!!! They installed baby gates for us and loaned us a highchair at no extra charge. The propery grounds were decorated in a modern Asian style and beautifully maintained. My only negative comment is that the water pressure in the ensuite bathroom shower varied day to day but the other bathroom shower was fine.

The location was better than Sloane Square- Harrods is around the corner i.e. a one minute walk, along with grocery stores (Sainbury, Harrods Food Hall and separate food shop on Brompton Rd, M&S), restaurants and fast food type places e.g. Pret a Manger and McDonalds are around the corner, all of the high street shops are along Brompton Rd. Harvey Nicols is down the street. The V&A, Natural History and Science Museums are a 5 minute walk from the hotel.

I highly recommend this location because it's more central and for the same price as Phoenix House we had 2 bedroom house vs a two bedroom apartment. This location is the best especially if you have kids.

The property company is called Cheval Group- check out their website for other locations around London but we'll be returning to Cheval next time we're in the London!
