Editor's Pick

"Heated floors warm the bathrooms, while breakfast arrives across the street at the sister property. South Kensington station sits within a short walk. Made for museum-goers, and not for anyone disturbed by elevator noise."

Cine Lumiere Cinema is located just 5 minutes by foot from the London hotel, and such natural sites as the expansive park "Kensington Gardens" are around 20 minutes' stroll away. The non-smoking Gainsborough is not far from Royal Albert Hall in London. Guests can easily get in touch with the history of London by visiting Buckingham Palace, located 1.6 miles from the cozy accommodation. Guests will find themselves a mere 5 minutes by foot from South Kensington metro station, and approximately 25 minutes by foot from Apollo Victoria Theatre.
