This September, a new and elegant hotel opens in London’s Kensington neighborhood. Ellen Kensington will feature 105 thoughtfully designed guestrooms and suites across five interconnected Victorian-period townhouses. The hotel will also be home to a pan-Asian restaurant with an expansive terrace and theatrical dining options.

Much of the property’s original features are incorporated throughout the space, refurbished to highlight the buildings’ history, including period bannisters, wrought-iron gate rails and the reinstatement of high ceilings.

Guestrooms range from single rooms to a top suite teeming with high-end amenities like rain showers; and anti-fog, heated bathroom mirrors.

A destination bar and cigar lounge comprise some of the exceptional dining and drink options available to guests. The Lacquer Room will be home to a pan-Asian restaurant and private terrace, open for lunch and dinner. Lunch specialties include bento boxes and light bites, while dinner promises to be an immersive affair with Shabu Shabu experiences and countertop dining. The space will also serve an Asian-inspired Afternoon Tea daily.

Ellen Kensington invites guests to enjoy luxurious facilities like its gym and six Ryokan Spa suites with Asian-inspired treatments. Guests also receive around-the-clock service and in-room dining upon request.
