This is an excellent hotel, kept in immaculate condition, having open its doors in 2006 only. Elegant conference rooms, gymnasium, Al Fresco terrace in summer, 24h concierge and exclusive private gardens make this property a very exclusive one, of excellent standards, in the heart of London but in very quite, peaceful location. (02/08 RPL).
The hotel is made up of several beautiful Georgian town houses. The period, white stucco facade, and the entrance flanked by columns makes this hotel building a very attractive one.
All the bedrooms are medium to large on average and very contemporary in style. Cream and pastel colours have been used to decorate walls and floors, and brown, warm colours for fabrics and bed spreads. Dark wooden furniture, Bose hi-fi system and 26" flat LCD tv complement the decor and the modern, contemporary style. All the rooms are fully air conditioned and in excellent condition as are the bathrooms.
The hotel's restaurant, Lessandro, serves gourmet Italian cuisine in an intimate, modern setting, including the available private dinning at The Ruby and The Mirror rooms. The hotel's own bar, the Ruby's Cocktail and Piano Bar, is also very contemporary and sophisticated.
The lobby is surprisingly big for this type of property made up of town houses. It's very bright and contemporary. There is a wooden reception desk to the right of the entrance, set at a 90 degree angle, making check-in and check-out very private. The concierge desk is located immediately to the right of the entrance. There is some additional seating with settees, sofas and cleverly positioned mirrors, adjacent to reception.
The hotel is located in the heart of fashionable Kensington, close to High Street Kensington and Knightsbridge, and within easy reach of Earls Court and Olympia exhibition centres. A perfect location for shopping, business and to visit every major tourist attraction in London.
