Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Just off bustling Earl’s Court Road, guests enter the Shaftesbury Kensington from a quiet side street into the small, contemporary lobby area, decorated in warm colours and softly lit by hanging designer lamps. Guests include young entertainment industry people and visitors attending the many events at Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre, as well as travellers in London for leisure.
Amenity highlights: The hotel’s restaurant, located on the ground floor beside the lobby, has a Moorish decor with horseshoe arches, intricately-designed lanterns, mirrors and brightly-coloured cushions. The buffet breakfast (surcharge) is served here in the morning and a menu of modern international dishes is available throughout the day. For active guests there is a small fitness room, with eight cardiovascular and weight machines.
Insider tip: The Stella Artois Championship, the traditional grass-court tennis precursor to Wimbledon, is held every June at the prestigious Queen’s Club, 900 metres from the hotel. As well as hosting one of the British summer’s premier sporting and social events, the club’s manicured tennis courts and elegant 19th century buildings also set the scene for Woody Allen’s 2005 movie, Match Point.
