This palatial four bedroom apartment is the epitome of luxury London living. Set across two floors, its plush furnishings, curated contemporary art and a neutral colour palette lend an air of sophisticated glamour to the space, while decadent marble clad bathrooms provide a dose of opulence. Step out onto your private balcony in the morning to enjoy your coffee over sprawling views of the city, before heading out to see the sights. For the full hotel feel, your host can arrange for a delicious breakfast to be delivered to your door. There is superfast Wi-Fi if you need to squeeze in a little work. Located in affluent Earl’s Court, sandwiched between Kensington and Chelsea, you are perfectly placed to explore all of West London’s delights. Stroll ten minutes up the road to reach High Street Kensington, the retail therapy nirvana, as well as access to the beautiful, tranquil Holland Park. For a dose of culture, head down Exhibition Road, home to the Victoria & Albert museum with its fabulous permanent collection, the Natural History Museum, and the Science Museum, which the kids will adore. To explore further afield, Earl’s Court station is four minutes away on foot, from which you... can reach Central London in ten minutes by tube.
