On Gloucester Road, within a row of elegant Victorian townhouses, Meliá Kensington brings a contemporary, international style to South Kensington. Interiors lean on muted tones, velvet accents, and modern artworks, balancing comfort with a subtle touch of glamour. Rooms are neatly arranged, some with views across the tree-lined avenue, and service is geared towards a smooth, professional experience.
The hotel sits just minutes from Gloucester Road station, giving direct access to Heathrow and central London, while the Natural History Museum and V&A are within walking distance. Dining centres on Mediterranean flavours, with a polished restaurant and lounge providing relaxed spaces for both guests and locals. It is a mid-range property that places location and efficiency alongside a touch of modern elegance.
