In one of the most famous and elegant areas in London, The Kensington hotel, housed in a Regency townhouse mansion, certainly stands out across the accommodation in the city as luxury is synonym to its name. You can not say you have truly experienced London without staying at least once in a traditional Victorian townhouse and even better if it is in South Kensington and just minutes away from Harrods and Victoria & Albert Museum.
The elegant lobby decorated with antiques from the personal collection of the owner, expensive fabrics and chandeliers will easily make you say “I’m certainly in the right place”. Tea time is a completely unique experience as the Beauty and the Beast theme will blow you away. Enjoy your delicious cakes with the company of Mrs Potts and the beautiful voice of Lumiere.
The suites are all individually decorated and combine sumptuous fabrics, deep upholstery and an eclectic mix of contemporary art and sleek furnishings that complement this historic building’s classic Victorian townhouse architecture. My balcony had a view of the neighbourhood townhouses.
The Town House Bar & Restaurant has a magnificent lounge area with period drawing rooms. Its setting offers a blend of traditional and contemporary features, and it’s an ideal place for afternoon tea, lunch or dinner.
Explore the beautiful South Kensington and Chelsea in style by renting the light blue bicycles of the hotel.
Sparkling moments not only because of the champagne, but with the whole sparkling luxury experience that makes you feel like home and not just any home but a Victorian one. Cheers London, cheers Kensington. Till next time!
