The Thistle Kensington Park in London is set in an imposing Regency townhouse, with an ornate glass portico, sitting just off the busy shopping street of Kensington High Street and 100 meters from Kensington Gardens and Kensington Palace.

The 353 guestrooms have a décor of warm pastel tones and dark wood furnishings. These are married with dark carpets and floral or tartan bedding. All the rooms in the Thistle Kensington Park come equipped with satellite television, pay movies and air conditioning for a comfortable stay in London.

There is mouth watering shopping to be had half a mile or so away in Knightsbridge, home to Harrods, Harvey Nichols and a host of upscale boutiques.

Heathrow airport is about 20 miles from the hotel; the best way to get from the airport to Kensington is via the underground's Piccadilly Line to South Kensington or via the Heathrow Express train to Paddington.
