Overlooking Kensington Gardens from the southern stretch of Kensington High Street, the Hux Hotel offers a bold, design-led boutique experience. Interiors lean towards the theatrical: jewel tones, velvet textures, and eclectic art create a mood that’s part townhouse, part nightclub. The lounge bar, with live music and cocktails, establishes a lively rhythm that distinguishes it from quieter boutique stays nearby.
The location is excellent for both leisure and business: Hyde Park and the Royal Albert Hall are just across the road, while Knightsbridge and South Kensington’s museums are within a short walk. Service is friendly but informal, matching the hotel’s playful spirit and evening energy.
