    Staying at the Kensington was a dream. From the moment you walk through the front door covered with flowers, you’re in a serene, beautiful oasis. The service was exceptional and the staff did everything to make our stay lovely. The breakfast in the restaurant each morning was delicious and a wonderful way to start the day. I also need to specifically call out Harvey, who stood out as the best associate on the team. He warmly greeted us each day and was attentive to our needs. It isn’t often someone goes out of their way to be thoughtful, but Harvey really demonstrated what exceptional service looks like. My husband and I can’t wait to come back to London and stay at the Kensington. Highly recommend this lovely hotel.

    We recently stayed at The Kensington Hotel to celebrate our wedding, and it was absolutely perfect! The hotel itself is charming and elegant, and we were delighted to receive a room upgrade that made our stay even more special. However, what truly set our experience apart was the exceptional service from George, the bellman. From the moment we arrived, George went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. He handled all of our transportation needs, including booking a 5 a.m. departure to the airport, and gave us fantastic recommendations on where to go and what to eat in the area. On the morning of our departure, George even made us tea and mimosas—such a thoughtful touch! His positive attitude, incredible smile, and genuine care for guests made us feel right at home. George is the reason we will absolutely be coming back, and we can’t wait for our next stay! Thank you, George, and The Kensington team, for making our wedding celebration so memorable.
