On this page we focus on the mostly large four star full service hotels in the
Kensington district. Many of the global multinational chains have hotels here, and there
is also a good choice of more individual independent hotels too.
We look at the mid range hotels in Kensington district both independent and chain hotels on a separate page plus another page covering cheap bed and breakfast 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.
At the eastern end of Kensington is Knightsbridge, hotels are very much top of the market. We disregard these hotels for the 'mainstream' hotels.
Most of these hotels border the Cromwell Road which leads out of Central London to Heathrow Airport, so its particularly attractive if you are using that airport. The Underground line line too follows this artery.
The Kensington district is attractive if you want a nice full service hotel in London with someone who you have heard off and willing to take the inconvenience of a short underground ride into the centre for a substantially lower room rate than a hotel in the very centre.
