Originally built in 1936, the Kensington Close is a 4 star hotel situated in a quiet side street in the heart of Kensington adjacent to High Street Kensington and Hyde Park, just a few minutes walk from Knightsbridge, home of the famous Harrod's department store. The Natural History, Science and Victoria & Albert Museums are within easy walking distance of the Kensington Close, as are Earl's Court and Olympia international exhibition venues. A more relaxing time can be enjoyed in Kensington Palace Gardens or rowing a boat hired on the nearby Serpentine lake.

If you are a business traveller the Kensington Close's Meeting Alchemy is a self contained purpose built, 12 roomed conference venue with its own reception area and full business support. An Alchemy host is on hand to welcome you and assist you and your guests and colleagues throughout the day. There is an Internet cafe near the lobby and WiFi is available in public areas. The Kensington Close also has a 24 hour monitored car park.
