The Kensington Hotel combines classic good looks and immaculate manners with original art and an gorgeous sense of fun.
Set in the heart of one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods, its grand stucco facade is characteristic of this affluent 19th Century district, home to cultural treasures such as the Natural History Museum, the V&A Museum and the Royal Albert Hall. Guests are also a short walk from Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, and world-famous Harrods.
The small, contemporary rooms on the top floors are chic and minimal; the larger rooms more traditional and sumptuous — think heavy fabrics, claw-foot baths, four-poster beds and working fireplaces. The two signature suites, the Kensington and the Brompton on the first floor are the pick of the litter.
At the K-Bar guests can find sleek and swishy mixologists who take their cocktails seriously, while the Town House Bar & Restaurant has a magnificent lounge with period drawing rooms.
