“In South Kensington, this hotel stands out with its proximity to Hyde Park and the Kings Road, not to mention an extensive gym illuminated by cleverly designed light wells; its restaurant and speakeasy-themed bar are neighborhood favorites. While rooms may be on the smaller side, the staff's exceptional service, particularly the concierge, more than compensates. A return visit feels inevitable.”
