The Radisson Blu Edwardian Vanderbilt is housed in a collection of ten townhouses on an attractive street in Kensington. This boutique hotel has contemporary British decor yet has retained the buildings’ historical features such as stained glass windows, original staircases and intricate ceiling detail.
The lobby sets the scene, with a black and white tiled floor and comfortable seating around a marble fireplace, on top of which sits a large stone statue of a hare. Scoff and Banter, the amusingly named gastropub-style restaurant has a more casual feel with wooden floors, leafy plants and lots of natural light. Rooms are minimalist, with neutral gray, white and yellow tones and elegant and comfortable modern furniture.
OUR OPINION:
Service here is excellent and we particularly like the boutique nature of the restaurant and bar. We also love the quiet yet central location of the hotel.

Rooms
Rooms are modern in style with a gray, white and yellow palette. Each differs in size and shape, and gets more spacious with higher room categories. All feature international sockets, a plasma TV and complimentary Wi-Fi. En suite marble bathrooms mostly have a shower over a bath.
