"Set in one of London's most desirable cosmopolitan neighbourhoods is The Kensington: an attractive hotel with sumptuous guestrooms, a lovely restaurant and an intimate cocktail bar."

Set in one of London's most desirable, cosmopolitan neighbourhoods is The Kensington: a delightful old-meets-new hotel made up of four nineteenth-century townhouses. Victorian age grandeur and traditional hospitality mingle with contemporary luxury and modern design to create the upscale hotel, which – by the way – is within walking distance of both Harrods and Harvey Nichols.

Cross the threshold of the hotel and you’ll be transported back in time to the elegance and grace of a bygone era. Soaring ceilings, crackling fireplaces and artwork both old and new create a distinct sense of place from that very first step inside. The hotel’s 150 rooms and suites are a continuation of this atmosphere, and all feel utterly sumptuous. Exquisitely patterned wallpaper, grand mirrors, regal tufted headboards and period pieces create that Old World ambience, while large swaths of white wall and a lack of superfluous decor gives the spaces a welcome modern freshness.

Exquisitely patterned wallpaper, grand mirrors, regal tufted headboards and period pieces create that Old World ambience, while large swaths of white wall and a lack of superfluous decor gives the spaces a welcome modern freshness. Grand suites are even more decadent with their four-poster beds, ultra-luxe furniture and exquisite design.

Dining at The Kensington is a charming experience, with a lovely handful of options to choose from. The modern European cuisine served at Townhouse is superb; despite the contemporary menu, the attractive dining room feels wonderfully old-school with its antique accents, leather armchairs and chrome chandeliers. The K Bar is a discreet and intimate cocktail bar, elegantly done up with oak panels, mirrored walls and gleaming accents of brass. Have a cocktail here or sip on a libation by the fireplace in one of the hotel's drawing rooms. And of course, don’t miss Afternoon Tea which is particularly worthwhile at The Kensington.

Massages, facials and other wellness offerings can be had in the spa treatment room or in the comfort of your own accommodations, and there’s also a fitness suite that remains open 24 hours a day. Beyond that, you won’t find many options for entertainment within the hotel itself, but The Kensington’s Queens Gate location puts it close to both the Natural History Museum and The Science Museums, not to mention the numerous shops, eateries and pubs that line the streets. If you’re keen on venturing further, the South Kensington tube is just steps away from the hotel’s front doors.
