(London, 31 July 2024) – Ellen Kensington, an elegant, boutique hotel in the heart of Kensington, is excited to announce that it will be officially opening at the end of the summer. A new pan-Asian restaurant with an expansive terrace and theatrical dining options will also open. Images will be available late July.
Ellen Kensington comprises of 105 thoughtfully designed guestrooms rooms and suites set across five interconnected Victorian period townhouses. More than half of the rooms overlook the historic Barkston Gardens, while the interiors feature a juxtaposition of classic English design with subtle Chinoiserie touches.
A number of the property’s original features have been carefully restored through the refurbishment process, including period bannisters, wrought iron gate rails, and the reinstatement of the property’s iconic high ceilings and bay box sash windows.
There is a curated range of beautiful bedrooms, from single rooms for solo travellers to a luxurious top suite, all with top-end amenities, rain showers and thoughtful touches including anti-fog heated bathroom mirrors.
Exceptional drink and dining options will open with the hotel, including a destination bar and cigar lounge. The Lacquer Room will be a beautiful pan-Asian restaurant with its own orangery and elegant private terrace. Lunch specialties include bento boxes, Asian specialties and light bites, whilst dinner is an immersive affair with Shabu Shabu experiences and countertop dining. An Asian inspired Afternoon Tea will be on offer daily, with theatrically plated dishes and whole leaf tea.
Guests will enjoy around the clock service and in-room dining, plus luxurious facilities including a gym and six Ryokan Spa Suites with Asian inspired treatments.
Ellen Kensington’s name graciously pays homage to the building’s storied past. It is inspired by the iconic British stage actress Dame Ellen Terry, who was considered one of the most famous leading ladies of the Victorian Era. At the height of her stage career, Dame Ellen lived at 22 Barkston Gardens, which is now marked by an English Heritage Blue Plaque.
