Just about 5 minutes walk from the hotel is Kensington Gardens & Hyde Park. Covering 275 acres of magnificent trees and ornamental flower beds, this area is famed for the Kensington Palace, Peter Pan statue and much more. With over 4,000 trees, a lake, a meadow and horse rides, it is easy to forget you're in the middle of London.

Walk 3 minutes from the hotel to see London's biggest ice skating rink, the Queens Ice & Bowl, shop at Whiteleys or visit the famous Queensway Market. A bustling street lined with Chinese, Arab and Mediterranean restaurants, Queensway swirls tantalizing adventures for every palate.

In the past, only members of the royal family and the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery were allowed to pass through the arch in ceremonial procession, located at the western end of Oxford Street. Relive history today as it is now open to pedestrians.

Oxford Street is Europe's busiest shopping street. Major stores include Selfridges, Marks & Spencer, HMV, Schuh and many more.

A short walk from the hotel is the afluent and fashinable area of Notting Hill, home to Portbelo Market and the Notting Hill Carnival.

Acces to the largest in-town shopping and leisure facility in Europe is just 15 minutes away. Enjoy a large range of fashion, homeware, restaurants & bars.

As busy and dynamic as London is, this could still be your personal space in the heart of the city.
