Glittering Prize London, Greater London

Property Description

With Royal Albert Hall, Hyde Park and three world-famous museums (The Natural History, V&A and Science Museums) practically on your doorstep, this apartment in South Kensington absolutely nails it, location-wise. Just a few minutes walk will also take you to Kensington High Street – known for its boutique shops and excellent eateries – so you couldn't ask for a better spot to call home. But the bustling locale isn't the only thing we love – inside, this apartment is a sparkling ode to another time. Shimmering chandeliers hang from high ceilings adorned with intricate cornices. Roman-inspired pillars stand tall on top of glossy parquet flooring and an ornamental marble fireplace takes centre stage in the living room. It's bright and luxurious, the perfect accompaniment to a stay in high-end Kensington. Whether you're sprawled out on the plush sofas, rustling up dinner in the modern kitchen or soaking in the bathtubs, this home is sure to surprise you. There's even a roof terrace for alfresco breakfasts and evening cocktails as the sun goes down. Add in the weekly housekeeping and twenty-four-hour reception, and you'll be well looked after here, day or night.

Home truths:
*Guests must provide a name, photo ID, and the credit card used to make the booking, and will be required to complete a security damage authorisation upon check-in
*A cot and high chair can be provided for little ones on request
*This home could sleep an extra guest – bringing the total capacity to seven – but there's a fee for an extra bed
*The upstairs neighbours can be quite noisy at times
*There's no parking provided, so instead of driving, take advantage of London's excellent transport links – there are two underground stations (Glouster Road and South Kensington) a ten-minute walk away
