Rich in culture and history, London buzzes with a blend of new and old, with vibrant experiences waiting to be discovered. The famed English writer Samuel Johnson once posited that those who were tired of London were tired of life itself, which continues to hold true centuries later.

For those looking for the royal treatment while in London, The Kensington is a luxury hotel with an aristocratic flare. Its immaculate white facade stands out like a palace among the historic townhouses that line the street.

Nestled in the glamorous neighborhoods of Kensington and Chelsea, the hotel offers a dreamy Victorian escape, with Waterford crystal chandeliers hanging from its high ceilings and fireplaces crackling in the foyer.

The Kensington is located in the heart of London’s best attractions—it’s a stone’s throw from Hyde Park, where locals can be found relaxing on sunny days and popular musicians host summertime concerts (Sabrina Carpenter and Gracie Abrams recently performed).

Nearby, the Natural History Museum offers an educational pastime and West End theatres are easily accessible to catch the hottest musicals and plays.

Guests at The Kensington can enjoy exclusive perks, like early-morning access to the Science Museum or tickets to sold-out exhibits at the nearby Victoria and Albert Museum.

Right now, history buffs and fashion fanatics can explore the Cartier exhibit at the V&A Museum, exploring the best in high jewellery from the world’s most renowned artisans. Featuring iconic works, including items worn by Queen Elizabeth II and Grace Kelly, it’s a testament to the brand’s legacy throughout the 20th century.

To celebrate their partnership with Cartier, The Kensington is offering guests a limited-edition cocktail menu at its cocktail bar K-Bar. Inspired by Cartier’s exhibition, the Hidden Gems menu includes elegant creations like the Diamant, a cocktail mixed with Beluga Gold Line Vodka and Champagne Cordial, served over a diamond-shaped ice cube.

After exploring all that London has to offer and enjoying bespoke cocktails, guests can relax in their suites—including family suites and studios with additional living spaces—unwinding in high-poster beds, with ensuite marble bathrooms and jaw-dropping decor. It’s a getaway fit for kings and queens.
