The luxurious and oh-so-chic Baglioni Hotel makes its home in a Victorian building set in the lovely Kensington area of London, across the road from Kensington Gardens and with great views of Kensington Palace. The 68 comfortable guest rooms are decorated with delicate silk wall covers and black parquet floors. Espresso machines and minibars are a few perks you will enjoy when you’re not out exploring London sights. Such sights nearby include the classic shopping mecca Harrods, beautiful Hyde Park and the Serpentine, and the Science, Natural History, and Victoria & Albert museums. Enjoy a wonderful dinner at one of the city’s acclaimed restaurants, stock up on gifts for friends back home, and emerse yourself in history and culture with visits to these nearby sights. Back at the hotel, open-plan suites are available with spacious seating areas to kick back and rewind from your long day of sightseeing. If you’re not in the mood to leave the hotel, grab dinner at the hotel’s Brunello. You’ll enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner in opulent surroundings designed with muted grays and golds. The contemporary Italian fare and regional delights will satisfy any craving. If you really need pampering, check out the Caroli Spa’s range of treatments, including an oyster-based anti-aging treatment, the ginger oil drainage massage, and the fennel seed peel. As sad as it is to say goodbye, you’ll be happy to know that getting to the airport in no trouble at all. Heathrow is on the Underground’s Piccadilly Line, which takes you into central London. Gloucester Road or High Street Kensington Underground stations are the nearest to the hotel, but if you’re looking for something quicker and easier, the city’s black cabs also go out to Heathrow.
