The Bailey's Hotel London Kensington  

In the heart of Kensington, a restored 19th-century townhouse hotel just steps from Gloucester Road Tube Station. You're a short walk from Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, the Royal Albert Hall and the city's major museums, with Kensington High Street and Knightsbridge close by; central London sights are a quick drive away.

Victorian bones meet modern comfort after a stylish 2016 restoration — think grand staircase and stained-glass windows with contemporary rooms. Guest rooms feature LCD TVs and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and slippers, plus daily-replenished bottled water, coffee, tea and biscuits. Rooms vary by category and may include minibars, safes and work desks.

Stay active in the fitness center, grab a drink at the bar or unwind with 24-hour room service. There's a casino on the premises and concierge services to book tours or transfers. Self parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle are available for a surcharge.

Meeting and presentation facilities plus a 24-hour business center and express check-in. Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected for work or streaming.

Two on-site restaurants serve a range of choices, including a noted Asian/Singaporean kitchen, plus a casual café and bar/lounge. English breakfast is available daily for a fee.
