The four-pearl Pelham Hotel is one of Kensington's most charming properties. It’s located opposite South Kensington station, on a busy street that's a short stroll from Kensington Gardens. Interiors showcase an eclectic design sensibility of deliberately clashing prints, colors, and fabrics, plus a mix of antique and contemporary furniture. The 52 rooms are done up in a countryside-home-meets-city-townhouse look, and include Handy phones, free Wi-Fi, and Penhaligon toiletries. Though windows are double-glazed, some guests do complain of street noise from the busy thoroughfare below. Breakfast is served in the hotel’s La Trattoria by Alfredo Russo restaurant, which is also open for lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. For a cheaper stay in Kensington, without the frills, consider The Gainsborough Hotel.
