Live the jet-set lifestyle for a while and check into this impressively spacious and luxurious penthouse in smart South Kensington. You can bring the whole family and switch off from life duties here. There are housekeeping visits daily and the staff really can’t do enough to make you comfortable. From arranging a chef to take over the large kitchen to making an appointment with a masseuse. The decor is simple, stylish and luxe - expect lots of neutrals, sumptuous beds, and heaps of marble in the bathrooms, but of course. Start each day on that incredible terrace overlooking the smart streets of Kensington below, as you hatch plans for your day ahead. And you’re in the right part of town for exploring. Hobnob with London’s well-heeled residents as you stroll along to Hyde Park, stopping off at the V&A Museum en route. When it’s time for a spot of lunch and retail therapy, Harrods is calling. Then retreat to Kensington Palace to take a turn around the charming gardens, before a tour of Queen Victoria’s apartment in the Royal’s Residence. Surely days don’t get much better than this?
