You’ll find this grand apartment in a suitably resplendent position between the Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Gardens. It’s a pad fit for royalty, with chandeliers, gilded antiques and a regal colour scheme of red and gold. We love the vast oil painting that overlooks the dining room, the impossibly splendid yellow silk bed in the master, and the antique kneehole desk in the office for when duty calls. There’s a private balcony for morning coffees before you promenade in Hyde Park and a neat little kitchen that provides a contemporary counterpoint for prepping evening meals. That said, with Kensington’s dazzling array of restaurants and bars on your doorstep, you’ll almost certainly be out on royal parade most nights. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
