Opposite beautiful Hampton Court Palace, on the banks of the River Thames in southwest London, the buildings housing the modern Carlton Mitre Hotel were first constructed in 1665. The hotel’s superb location means it offers instant access to the beauty and history of a unique royal residence. The structure originally served as lodging for courtiers who could not be accommodated at the palace. Today, the hotel’s magnificent architecture has been sympathetically adapted to accommodate a modern luxury residence for discerning travellers.
