Hotel Description

Offering Old English charm and Victorian-era elegance, this Kensington hotel entices the senses of business and leisure travelers offering 21st century accommodations in London’s historic urbanity.

Hotel Features


Situated on a leafy avenue, this Victorian-style mansion hotel greets guests with a façade outfitted with small, stately columns and crisp white detailing. One of the standout features of this corporate-friendly hotel is its lively and upbeat bistro, which establishes the Victorian elegance displayed throughout the rest of the hotel. A mahogany-paneled bar, flaunting Art Deco furnishings and soft candlelight, is open until 1 a.m., and offers gourmet appetizers and drinks ranging from champagne cocktails to rye whiskey. The bar’s private area, nicknamed “Cinderella’s Carriage,” accommodates VIP’s and can be booked for small parties regularly. Period portraits and classic novels complement the hotel’s Green Room, which serves complimentary tea and coffee throughout the day.

Guestrooms

The Gore’s 50 guestrooms, some of which are named after celebrities who have patronized the hotel, skillfully blend the contemporary with the classic. Accommodations showcase antique furniture, period furnishings (including fainting sofas), and hand-carved beds dressed with Egyptian cotton linens. All units are outfitted with complimentary wireless Internet access and updated flat-screen televisions.

Hotel Location

The Gore Hotel in Kensington is positioned opposite the Queens Gates to Hyde Park very near the Kensington Gardens. It occupies a desirable spot just around the corner from the Royal Albert Hall, and is a five-minute walk to attractions including Kensington High Street, the South Kensington museums, and the city’s West End. The spectacular shopping at Knightsbridge is walking distance as well.

Hotelbook Tip

The hotel offers a variety of novelty themed rooms, which pay even deeper attention to the Victorian detailing. The Tudor Room even features its own minstrel gallery.
