You’ll be tipping your hat to this wonderful stay – once home to one of Kensington’s finest milliners, this unique building is now the perfect family townhouse set across five floors. It’s also got an envy-inducing location – right between the two green spaces of Holland Park and Kensington Gardens, you need only stretch your legs for all of six minutes before you hit the perfect picnicking spot. A quick five minutes' walk from the boutiques, bars, and restaurants of Kensington High Street, you'll be right next to the city's action and well-connected to the rest of London by tube from High Street Kensington station. Despite this oh-so-central location, we love how peaceful the space feels. With its elegant furnishings and bold paintings, it's certainly somewhere we'd want to hang up our hat at the end of a long day. The main living area benefits from large sash windows that nearly reach the high ceilings, creating a bright and unencumbered place to lounge. The kitchen cabinetry warms the otherwise white space with its honey-hued wood, and there’s room for a home-cooked meal at the mid-century modern dining room set. With four bedrooms to choose from, there’s plenty of space for the whole family – or friends – although we do think there’ll be some competition for that master suite on the top floor, complete with a mint green roll top bathtub and a view of the city’s roofs. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
