Event Spaces: The Study for private gatherings

“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.”
