A new boutique townhouse hotel - The Selwyn - dating back to Victorian times is set to open its doors in the heart of Richmond upon Thames soon.
Kew Green Hotels, a leading international hotel management company, has been selected as the hotel management partner for the 50-bedroom hotel.
The Selwyn showcases a wisteria-draped Victorian façade that gives way to an elegant yet warm lobby with elevated ornate ceilings. The hotel features well-appointed rooms overlooking the neighbourhood or the cityscape, and The Paisley Room, which serves breakfast or an aperitif in a space flooded with natural light from the bay windows.
With a strategic central location, the hotel offers convenient access to the area's attractions, including diverse shopping, bars and restaurants, world-renowned sporting venues like Twickenham and Wimbledon, and the natural beauty of Richmond Park, Richmond Riverside and nearby Kew Gardens.
The Selwyn is steeped in Richmond's rich heritage - to which the Selwyn family have made a notable contribution - and whose name has a long and distinguished history extending back to the 16th century. Selwyn means "Sel (castle)" and "Wyn (friend)," which is embodied in the hotel's graceful ambience, warm welcome and personalised service.
