The Kensington – The Doyle Collection
london, england
This timeless townhouse hotel in one of London’s chicest quarters is primed for a cultural visit
Occupying a row of beautifully reimagined Regency-period townhouses, The Kensington invites you to a hidden world of elegance in the city’s chic cultural quarter.
Nestled among the refined residences of the Royal Borough, visitors enjoy convenient proximity to Hyde Park, Kensington Palace and the great national museums in one direction, with the boutiques and restaurants of Knightsbridge and Mayfair a short walk the other way. The property’s close relationship with the V&A Museum gives guests exclusive access to some of the capital’s most sought-after tickets, including high-profile shows that often sell out on release, such as the recent Chanel and Cartier exhibitions and the current Marie Antoinette retrospective.
With open fires, high ceilings, heritage decor and Art Deco-style chandeliers, the hotel’s elegant drawing rooms echo the atmosphere of a private Victorian residence, providing the perfect setting to relax over afternoon tea. Town House serves in-season global cuisine, while at The K Bar, oak panels, polished brass accents and glamorous mirrored walls set an intimate, sophisticated mood for an exceptional experience where every sip is a testament to the art of mixology.
The Kensington’s signature suites delicately blend historic charm and modern comfort, taking luxury to a new level with their regal splendour. The Brompton Suite features a four-poster bed, free-standing Victorian roll-top bath, and a sparkling Waterford crystal chandelier, while The Knightsbridge Suite, with its marble bathroom and balcony overlooking the neighbourhood’s expansive boulevards, offers contemporary appeal.
Throughout it all, the ambience is sumptuous, yet personal and familiar – a beautiful, inviting home-away-from-home.
