The Kensington is a luxurious, five-star hotel located in the heart of South Kensington, which boasts stunning period features, stand-out design and top-class service. For those looking for a particularly elegant place for a private event, take a look at Town House, a selection of dining spaces within the hotel which are available to book exclusively.
For smaller events, The Study features a long, central table and classic panelling, complemented by atmospheric lighting. Here, you can bring up to 20 friends or clients together for an intimate dinner, something which has been done by countless brands before launching their new collections. You're welcome to decorate however you'd like and transform the table with floral installations and your own place settings.
If you're looking for a spot with a distinguished, night-time vibe, The K Bar features warm, wooden panelling across the walls, rich fabrics like leather and velvet and a statement bar. With a gentleman's club-style feel, you can host a small group for drinks and nibbles, perhaps before moving onto a sit-down dinner.
But, the jewel in Town House's crown has to be the main dining room which is a pretty, pastel space, an idyllic setting for lunches, afternoon tea and dinners. Your guests will no doubt be struck by the whimsical wallpaper which covers the room, depicting twirling branches and flowers in lilac and mauve hues.
As for the food, all catering is provided in house and there's a selection of menus you can look through on the website. On the a la carte, for example, guests can enjoy starters such as dressed Dorset Crab, cucumber, apple and homemade Guinness bread, mains of Gressingham duck breast with carrot purée, pomegranate and sweet jus, as well as desserts like roasted apricot, lavender mascarpone cream and apricot vinaigrette.
Simply speak to the team about your preferred menu style and they'll be sure to help make it happen.
