Thistle Kensington Gardens, London

Ideally situated for both business and leisure visitors, this contemporary-style hotel is just minutes away from Paddington Station, which boasts fast access to Heathrow Airport, as well as links across the UK.

The Thistle Kensington Gardens is set on the tree-lined Bayswater Road, just a short tube ride away from the theatres of the West End, shops of Bond Street, bars and restaurants in Kensington and sights in Marble Arch. Overlooking Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park and the Serpentine, just a short stroll from the hotel will bring you to Kensington Palace and the Princess Diana Memorial Garden.

With stylish public areas, including the Galleria Brassiere with views of the park, the Thistle Kensington Gardens also features conference and banqueting facilities, ideal for business or social events.

Start each day with a hearty breakfast of freshly-cut fruit, yoghurts and a wide range of cereals. You can also choose from the traditional cooked breakfast or freshly-baked breads and pastries with a selection of meats and cheeses, accompanied by tea and coffee. The lounge and bar are open throughout the day offering light bites or full meals, as well as traditional afternoon tea. Hot and cold refreshments are available in a serene, light space with large windows letting in the afternoon and evening sunshine, and, once the sun sets, there are plenty of wines, spirits and champagnes to enjoy. The restaurant offers warm, comfortable surroundings and freshly-prepared dishes from the seasonal à la carte and table d’hote menus. Mouth-watering deserts and aromatic coffees complete the evening. A 24-hour in-room dining menu is also available.
