More about Richmond Hill Hotel:
Tucked within one of southwest London’s most quietly beautiful corners, Richmond Hill Hotel feels effortlessly at home in its surroundings. Sitting proudly on a hill, with many of the rooms boasting sweeping views of the park, this hotel is just moments from the centre of Richmond. This elegant Georgian townhouse hotel offers the rare luxury of space, calm and heritage, while remaining effortlessly connected to the rhythm of the city. It is the sort of address that rewards those in the know: refined but relaxed, rooted in history yet refreshingly current.
Inside, the hotel blends classic proportions with contemporary comfort, creating rooms and public spaces that feel both elegant and deeply inviting. Thoughtful design details nod to the building’s past while prioritising modern ease, making it equally appealing for a weekend escape, a romantic stay, or a discreet base for business travellers seeking something more characterful than a city-centre chain. At the heart of the hotel sits its much-loved restaurant and bar, 144 On The Hill, a destination in its own right, where seasonal British cooking and a convivial atmosphere draw both guests and locals alike.
The rooms at Richmond Hill Hotel strike a pleasing balance between heritage and modernity, with two distinct collections to choose from. The Georgian rooms lean into the building’s historic roots, layered with elegant, characterful details such as traditional telephones and indulgent freestanding baths, while the Hill Collection offers a fresher, contemporary feel with clean lines and modern comforts. The hotel’s suites are a rare find for this part of southwest London, notably spacious and quietly impressive, with the Georgian suites standing out for their grandeur, period detailing and sense of old-world refinement, making them particularly special for longer stays or celebratory escapes
Beyond the bedrooms and dining spaces, Richmond Hill Hotel offers a considered collection of facilities designed to enhance both leisure and longer stays. A well-equipped on-site gym provides space to maintain routines, and yoga mats are available to borrow for in-room use. While elegant meeting and event rooms offer a refined setting for private gatherings, weddings and corporate occasions, all infused with the same sense of heritage and understated style found throughout the hotel.
The hotel’s outdoor terrace becomes one of its most coveted spots, both in Winter as a Winter Wonderlounge and in Summer, a tranquil place to linger over coffee, cocktails or supper, framed by leafy surroundings and the gentle hum of Richmond life beyond. It is an extension of the hotel’s easy elegance: sociable without being showy, relaxed without losing its polish.
What truly sets Richmond Hill Hotel apart, however, is its location. Step outside and you are met with sweeping views across Richmond Park, where deer roam freely and early morning walks feel wonderfully restorative. Wander downhill and you’ll find the Thames, lined with towpaths, riverside pubs and rowing boats gliding past. Yet central London is just a short journey away, making the hotel perfectly placed for those who want the best of both worlds: village charm and city access, nature and culture, tranquillity and buzz. In an area long favoured by artists, writers and wanderers, Richmond Hill Hotel continues that tradition, offering a stay that is quietly luxurious, deeply atmospheric and unmistakably special.
