The hotel enjoys a superb location in the heart of the Kensington and Chelsea district of London, within easy reach of the shops and restaurants on Kensington High Street, as well as the prestigious Knightsbridge, home to Harrods and Harvey Nichols.

The area immediately surrounding the hotel also buzzes with many restaurants and a lively nightlife.

The Natural History Museum is just 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from the hotel. Undoubtedly one of the most impressive buildings in central London with its well-known facade along Cromwell Road, the Natural History Museum is well known for its dinosaur exhibits but it also includes a wide range of exhibitions, which look both back and forward. Entrance to the museum is free, though there are charges for special exhibitions.
The nearby London Underground station of Gloucester Road offers fast, efficient access to any part of the city, including all of London’s theatres and shops. The hotel’s convenient location also means the city’s many bus routes are within easy reach.
Earls Court and Olympia exhibition centres are both close by and the hotel also makes a good West End base for events at London's ExCeL exhibition centre. All of the city’s business locations are easy to get to with the hotel as a stylish and comfortable base.
