Cosy Neighborhood Choice

The Kensington is part of the Doyle Collection, a group of eight stylish and quirky hotels. The Kensington is seven white stucco townhouses converted into one boutique-ish five star hotel in the heart of South Kensington. Perfect for those planning to visit the museums of South Kensington, less appropriate for those who are after major spa/fitness/amenities at their London five star hotel.

What Makes The Kensington unique?

  • Fantastic location in the heart of South Kensington and a 2 minute walk to South Kensington Tube
  • If you’re coming to London to visit its South Kensington museums this is the ideal place to stay
  • The K Bar is a fabulous cocktail bar
  • Housed in several beautiful white Stucco townhouses
