The Levin, family-owned hotel nr Knightsbridge

Named after its owner David Levin, this small, sophisticated hotel is next door to its grander sister, The Capital (see entry). It is a family affair: Mr Levin might be seen at breakfast, and his daughter, Kate, is the manager in both hotels. The spacious entrance hall is an elegant space with pistachio-coloured walls, easy chairs and tables, formal floral decorations (and books to borrow). The old lift, 'small and slow', has been retained: 'It somehow belongs to the building and its history.' The 'comfortable', individually designed, bedrooms have a 1930s feel with subtle Art Deco touches. 'Our superior room overlooked Basil Street; it had a bay window and a supremely comfortable bed.' There are down pillows and fine Egyptian cotton linen; a marble bathroom. The room rate includes a continental breakfast which is taken in the basement brasserie, Le Metro. A simple all-day menu is served here (eg, sausages and mash; pie of the week). The wines from Mr Levin's organic Loire vineyard are recommended: 'They combine new-world flavours with old-world subtlety.' More reports, please.

Expensive but it offers peace and comfort. An ideal base for shopping. Friendly reception. Courteous manager. Bedroom with reasonable but not perfect sound proofing, effective air conditioning, tasteful minimalist furniture. Breakfast in slightly cramped Metro had prompt service, a varied buffet table, but insipid coffee.
