Situated in four grand townhouses, the hotel's grand, stucco façade is characteristic of this affluent 19th century district, which is home to cultural treasures like the Natural History Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum andthe Royal Albert Hall within walking distance, and the green spaces of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park and world-famous stores such as Harrods and Harvey Nichols close by.
With open fires found in nearly all the hotel's ground floor reception rooms, entering The Kensington hotel feels rather like walking through the doors of a lovingly-restored London mansion. The high ceilings and heritage décor evoke a sense of Victorian grandeur, while the hotel's famously friendly and engaging service creates a relaxed ambience reminiscent of an exclusive private members club.
The warm jewel tones, creative English menu, and easy atmosphere at Town House restaurant mean drinks and dinner with friends easily becomes a night to remember.
