Suite Stay Club loves:
Tucked away off London’s Old Brompton Road, The Kensington sits in one of the city's most charming neighbourhoods. Its opulent rooms and lavish suites provide a luxurious retreat after a day spent exploring the capital.
Just a step away from the hotel's front door you’ll find The Royal Albert Hall, The Victoria and Albert Museum, Kensington Gardens and the world-famous department store, Harrods. As corporate hotel partners of the V&A, The Kensington offers guests premium access to the museum’s groundbreaking special exhibitions, including Cartier and Marie Antoinette Style.
Spend your days exploring the neighbourhood then return to the hotel's on-site restaurant, to indulge in a meal or a quintessentially British Afternoon Tea, before heading to the The K Bar, an art deco gem, for an expertly crafted cocktail. Those looking to be pampered during their trip can indulge in an Aromatherapy Massage or a simple blow dry delivered in-room by London Serenity's experienced therapists.
Comprised of seven former Victorian-style town homes, The Kensington blends period charm with modern comfort to create an inviting atmosphere reminiscent of a beautifully appointed private residence.
