About
On one of South Kensington’s most distinguished red-brick rows, Egerton House Hotel stands proudly among the classic townhouses that define the SW postcode. Part of the family-run Red Carnation Collection, this five star boutique hotel is celebrated for its discreet service, eclectic interiors (original artworks by Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, and Picasso line the walls) and, with only 28 rooms, the kind of home-from-home intimacy that larger venues simply can’t match. As the micro wedding continues its ascent and city-chic weddings persist, note that Egerton is only a stone’s throw from Chelsea and Marylebone Town Hall and so an ideal landing place for a reception of up to 20 guests. The plush townhouse setting is ideal for hosting martinis at the bar (in the backdrop of an original Charles Schulz cartoon sketch) and then a bespoke wedding breakfast on a table of hand-cut blooms imagined by long-time floral design collaborator Jane Wadham. And honeymooners, hear ye: the haven V&A Suite, with full-height bay windows, sumptuous fabrics and a dedicated private terrace (with views over Egerton Gardens), is perfect for morning preparations or a quiet moment before celebrations begin. The Egerton signifier is thoughtfulness; handmade sweets, complimentary V&A access and every accommodation for four-legged friends.
Why Our Editors Love

Testimonials
The aesthetic of the hotel is beautiful and perfectly captures the spirit of our very intimate gathering. It was the people who made it memorable and seamless. No detail was overlooked and even we weren’t expecting the fabulous table decorations that we had asked the hotel to do for us. Absolutely incredible and we are still buzzing.
