Boutique Comfort in the Heart of Kensington

Modern, individually-designed, and just a 2-minute walk from Earl’s Court Tube Station, the Merit Kensington Hotel delivers a stylish home base for music lovers. Set in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, this boutique hotel blends classic London charm with contemporary touches, placing you close to world-famous venues, museums, and shopping like Harrods.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just minutes from Earl’s Court Station means you can easily reach major gig spots across London—including the Royal Albert Hall and other West End venues. The hotel’s quiet residential street helps you escape the buzz post-show, and with check-in from 15:30 and check-out until 11:00, you’ll have time to recover after a late night.

Nightlife Options

You're just a few Tube stops from Soho, Camden, and other nightlife hubs. Locally, Earl’s Court has its own selection of pubs and hidden gems for drinks before or after the show. Though the hotel doesn’t host live music, its location makes it easy to explore London’s dynamic music scene.
