We're a big fan of Thompson Hotels, an elite collection of service and design-driven hotels, and a particular favorite of the DC location (Donovan House). Now, Thompson Hotels is adding a 'cross the pond location to their portfolio with the addition of Belgraves, a Thompson Hotel, scheduled to open in summer 2011.

"Our first hotel, 60 Thompson in NY, was ideologically based on the intimacy of British hotels," says Jason Pomeranc, co-owner of Thompson Hotels. "Blending traditional British hospitality with an American bohemian attitude, Belgraves will interpret the Thompson luxury experience in London, joining the on-going creative movement in design, dining and art that is currently forging the "new Britannia".
"Belgraves is iconic for location alone," commented Tara Bernerd, the hotel's interior designer. "We intend on creating a rich, eclectic and tactile design that combines traditional elegance with a modern architectural language."
