ABOUT US

The hotel is rooted in Richmond’s rich heritage – to which the Selwyn family have made a notable contribution – and whose name has a long and distinguished history in Richmond extending back to the 16th century. A wisteria-draped Victorian façade gives way to an elegant lobby with lofty and ornate ceilings. Guests can select from a choice of well-appointed bedrooms with neighbourhood or city views and enjoy breakfast or an aperitif in the dining room flooded with natural light from bay windows.  

Selwyn means “Sel (castle)” and “Wyn (friend),” which is reflected in the graceful ambiance, warm welcome and personalised service awaiting guests at The Selwyn hotel in Richmond UK.

DINE

The Paisley Room, The Selwyn's restaurant, is an inviting gathering spot for breakfast or an aperitif for guests and local residents of Richmond. A timeless Art Deco design, a mix of banquettes and tables and an airy ambiance featuring a large bay window and lofty ceilings.
