    I've been staying at the Kensington for over ten years and it remains one of my favorite places to visit in the world. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by beauty and luxury-from the decor to the custom scents wafting through the air. My entire family remains loyal to this hotel due to their impeccable service, delicious food, beautiful rooms and prime location. It's the perfect spot for a couple's retreat, family vacation or business trip. I would recommend to everyone.

    I traveled to the Kensington solo for Christmas last year from Houston. It was the best hotel experience of my life by far! The staff took great care of me, even upgraded my room (I was in HEAVEN!), and were available for my every need. The room was incredible and absolutely made my trip. Lots of space, great heated floors (probably my favorite part), separate tub/shower, great amenities. And QUIET! I loved it so much, I booked another trip for this Christmas, and I’m counting down the days!

    Oh, The Kensington. Our treasured home away from home when we are in London. From the moment you step inside you’re immersed in tranquility. There’s a gentle scent wafting in air. There’s beautiful furniture/decor that is both stylish and inviting. The reception team greet you warmly and are all so kind and efficient. And the rooms are outstanding. Beautifully decorated in a style that’s both traditional yet contemporary. And quite large by British standards. The beds and bedding are heavenly and the bathroom is so beautiful and quite a good size. But our favorite thing about The Kensington is George, one of the concierges. We met him the first time we came to the Kensington 10 years ago and developed an instant bond. We saw him gay this time and it was like no time had passed. We spent time looking at the photos. I took of us when we were here last time and even more fun trying to re-create the same photos. He is such a true gentleman who radiates kindness. Can’t wait to see him the next time we visit.
