Hotels in Kensington are certainly varied in nature from budget hotels around Earls Court to the opulence of Knightsbridge. There are some very large hotels, mostly brand names like Marriott and Holiday Inn, together with budget chains like Ibis and Premier Inn. All in all, something for everyone.

 

On this page we look at the mid range hotels in Kensington district both independent and chain hotels. We have separate pages for cheap bed and breakfast hotels in Kensington and full service 4 star hotels in Kensington.


In crude terms, the further east you go the more expensive and plush the hotels are in Kensington. At the eastern extremity is Knightsbridge and Harrods and some of the most expensive hotels in London. The tourist class mid range hotels tend to be around the Gloucester Road and Earls Court areas of Kensington.


This area is the most convenient hotel district if you are arriving at Heathrow airport. The main road from Heathrow goes through the heart of Kensington as does the cheap and frequent Underground link.


There is a good mix of chains like Ibis, Premier Inn, Holiday Inn, Best Western as well as some good independents. Its a short Underground ride to the main attractions in the centre and Harrods and the South Kensington museums are within walking distance of most hotels.

All hotels you can easily escape the hotels for breakfast, ATM's, coffee shops and general supplies. Unusually there are some large supermarkets, not the usual convenience outlets found in most hotel districts. The big 24 hour Tesco pictured top is at the western end of Kensington at Earls Court, a Sainsburys is about 500m east of that and a Waitrose is by Gloucester Road underground and another along Kensington High Street.
