Location, Location, Location
One of the hotel’s biggest draws is its location. You're right in the heart of Kensington, a leafy, elegant part of London that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle - but you’re only a short tube ride from all the main attractions. Hyde Park, the Natural History Museum, and the V&A are all nearby, and there are plenty of lovely cafes, pubs, and restaurants to explore on foot.
Elegant and Comfortable Lounge
For those who love a spot of shopping, you’re not far from High Street Kensington and the iconic Harrods in Knightsbridge. And when your feet need a break, Earl’s Court tube station is just a five-minute stroll away.
Personalised Service
Boutique Comfort with a Personal Touch
The Resident Kensington feels more like a chic London townhouse than a hotel, with thoughtful interiors that combine classic British design with modern comforts. The rooms are surprisingly spacious for a central London hotel, and many come with charming sash windows, plush beds, and clever little kitchenettes - ideal if you’re staying for a few nights and want to enjoy breakfast in bed or a cosy dinner in.
Signature In-Room Mini-Kitchen
There’s no traditional restaurant or bar here, but that’s all part of the charm. The idea is to make you feel right at home, with everything you need at your fingertips. The team are also brilliant at recommending great places to eat and drink in the area, so you’re never short of options.

What Makes It Special
It’s the little touches that make The Resident Kensington stand out. The staff are genuinely warm and welcoming - nothing feels too much trouble. They’re known for their personalised service, from greeting you by name to offering local tips that feel more like insider secrets.
Superior Room with Patio
Sustainability is also a quiet but meaningful part of the experience here. The hotel is committed to reducing waste, energy use, and plastic, and there’s a gentle eco-consciousness running through everything from their water carafes to their approach to housekeeping.

It’s not flashy, and that’s exactly why it’s so special. Stylish, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed - it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again.
