Lovely place to stay if you're simply looking to stay somewhere that's quiet, where you're able to spend loads of time meditating and being still, or one with nature ♡ Beautiful interior, very classy and old school.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Petersham was a perfect stop on our longer journey. The hotel is in a beautiful and walkable area of Richmond, close to the river, shops, pubs and restaurants. The hotel itself clearly has a lot of history and as such is an older building. When we visited it was incredibly hot and the hotel has no air-conditioning except in the restaurant. The staff were wonderful and the restaurant staff in particular helped us navigate our gluten free dietary requirements safely. I would definitely stay again, but may choose somewhere with a.c in the summer.
