London's Ellen Kensington has officially opened its doors

Ellen Kensington, a boutique hotel in the heart of Kensington, is excited to announce that it will officially open in September!

The property comprises 105 thoughtfully designed guestrooms across five interconnected Victorianperiod townhouses. More than half of the rooms overlook the historic Barkston Gardens, while the interiors feature a juxtaposition of classic English design with subtle Chinoiserie touches. Several original features have been carefully restored through refurbishment, including period bannisters, wrought iron gate rails, and the reinstatement of the property’s iconic high ceilings and bay box sash windows.

There’s a curated range of beautiful bedrooms, from single rooms for solo travellers to a luxurious top suite, with top-end amenities, rain showers and thoughtful touches, including anti-fog heated bathroom mirrors. Exceptional drink and dining options will open with the hotel, including a destination bar and cigar lounge. The Lacquer Room will be a beautiful pan-Asian restaurant with its own orangery and elegant private terrace. Lunch specialities include bento boxes, Asian specialities and light bites, while dinner is an immersive affair with Shabu Shabu experiences and countertop dining. An Asian-inspired Afternoon Tea, with theatrically plated dishes and whole leaf tea, will be offered daily.
 
Guests will enjoy around-the-clock service and in-room dining, plus luxurious facilities, including a gym and six Ryokan Spa Suites with Asian-inspired treatments.
