The Garden Suite At Royal Garden Hotel

You can’t beat the views from the new Garden Suite on the 10th (top) floor of the Royal Garden Hotel. We spent a welcome night there post International Confex in February, where a huge sunken bath soothed our weary feet. One of the hotel's master suites (along with the Goodwood, Royal and Penthouse), it looks out over delightfully calming views of Kensington Gardens and is ideally placed for Min Jiang fans as the restaurant is placed on the same floor. A lavish living area is luxuriously decorated with Mulberry fabrics, two cosy armchairs and a sofa, with all the latest technology on tap, from a 42-inch LCD TV to a Bose surround sound and I-Pod docking station. You even get to choose your own combination of Penhaligon toiletries to use in the Villeroy and Boch bathroom, which also has a walk-in shower with a 'rainforest head'.
