Part of the Irish family-owned Doyle Collection, The Kensington occupies a handsome Regency townhouse on Queen’s Gate in South Kensington, moments from the Royal Albert Hall, the V&A, Kensington Gardens and Harrods.
Open fires, high ceilings and heritage decor give the hotel’s elegant drawing rooms a genuinely residential character, balancing period grandeur with the warmth of a private home.
Rooms and suites blend period charm with modern comfort, with signature suites taking the offering to a new level of luxury.
Dining spans the Townhouse restaurant for afternoon tea and meals, and the art deco K Bar, where award-winning bartenders serve cocktails alongside an expansive wine list.
