A riverside retreat with royal connections and waterfront dining in historical Hampton Court

Follow in the footsteps of centuries-old royalty at The Mitre, a contemporary boutique rich in history. Originally built to host visitors to Hampton Court Palace, just across the river, The Mitre has been reincarnated in modern, elegant English country house style. 

Rooms and suites at The Mitre, like its shared spaces, ooze warmth and charm. Wicker, rattan, and bold florals are peppered with creatively chosen artwork in a nod to the hunting, boating and cultural traditions of the hotel and surrounding area. Indulge in one of the Royal rooms – the Catherine Parr suite perhaps, named after Henry VIII’s last wife – and delight in details like copper roll top baths, four poster beds and expansive river views. King Henry pops up again as the inspiration behind the all-day café and wine bar Coppernose. Meanwhile, 1665 Riverside Brasserie serves up eclectic modern dishes on its romantic alfresco terrace, or overlooking the Thames. When the sun shines, enjoy a bespoke riverside picnic on its banks, or cosy up inside with a quintessential afternoon tea.

The Mitre’s neighbourhood is packed with historical gems to explore. Simply cross the bridge to marvel at the 16th century splendour and infamous artworks of Hampton Court Palace, complete with gardens and maze. Wander Henry VIII’s favoured hunting grounds in Bushy Park, where deer still roam freely. Or take the short journey by train into the centre of London to see the city sights.

The Mitre Riverside Dining

Lazy lunches on the river

From indulgent afternoon teas to traditional Sunday roasts, The Mitre’s best dining experiences revolve around those sublime riverside views. The terrace is made for champagne-quaffing while watching boats and paddleboarders glide by. Book the Mitre’s picnic service to create a bespoke hamper from the restaurant menu, add a bottle (or two), and enjoy on the river- bank in true ‘Wind in the Willows’ tradition.  
 
The Mitre Dog Friendly

Tail wags, guaranteed

Four legged friends receive a paw-fect welcome at The Mitre. They’ll enjoy a welcome pack of treats in one of the hotel’s  dog-friendly rooms, with outdoor courtyard access. They’re welcome all day in the Coppernose restaurant too, so they won’t miss any of the fun. And there are miles of perfect walks along the river and in Bushy Park, just outside the front door.
 
The Mitre Hampton Court Busky Park Walks

Parks and palaces

200ft from The Mitre, Hampton Court Palace is a ‘must see’ – but nearby Strawberry Hill, Ham and Marble Hill houses are also packed with period interiors and architecture. Bushy and Richmond Parks are havens for wildlife, including their famous deer, and the world-renowned glasshouses of the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew are just a few miles down the road.

A charming and beautifully decorated hotel on the Thames, just across from the Hampton Court Palace

We were on our honeymoon and stayed in the King Henry VIII suite, which was absolutely charming and perfectly cozy. View of the Thames, big bathroom with really nice products, and a complimentary bar. Decor was thoughtful and tasteful. Bed was amazingly comfortable. Would travel back to London just to Read more[SPLIT]Read lessstay in that room!

Great place to stay if you're visiting Hampton Court

This hotel is the perfect spot if you're planning to visit Hampton Court Palace - it is literally directly opposite the main entrance. Our room was at the side of the hotel with a view across neighbouring gardens and was very quiet. The hotel is newly refurbished and in very good condition.

Lovely hotel, but a few quirks

We were given a glass of wine at check in, which was a good start! We had booked a Royal Room and it was a lovely big room (Mary, 308) overlooking the Thames through two sash windows. Two comfy chairs plus window seats, and a huge and comfy bed. Probably due to the age of the property, there were very Read more[SPLIT]Read lessfew places to plug anything in - we only found two spare sockets by the desk and the TV and fridge were plugged into a iffy-looking adaptor on the wall. The fridge door didn’t shut properly and had to be forced into place but it still didn’t keep the milk (supplied by reception, a nice touch) very cold overnight. The bathroom was small with a shower over the bath - and the hot water was very hot. Our main issue was that there were no hand towels in the bathroom and when we rang down they just said that they hadn’t been delivered, but didn't offer an alternative.
