The Spotlight on Radisson Blu Edwardian Vanderbilt

Classic London elegance minutes from the music


The Radisson Blu Edwardian Vanderbilt is a stylish, historic hotel set in a 19th-century Grade II listed building in South Kensington. With period features and a modern touch, it's perfectly located just a short walk from iconic museums and the Royal Albert Hall. Expect elegant surroundings, high-speed Wi-Fi, and thoughtful extras like complimentary bottled water and in-room film libraries.

Why Concert-goers love it


You can’t beat the location – less than a 10-minute walk to the Royal Albert Hall and just steps from Gloucester Road and South Kensington Tube stations, making late-night travel a breeze. While you're close to the action, the hotel’s quiet, classic interiors provide a peaceful retreat after a high-energy show. Check-in starts at 15:00 and check-out is by 11:00, giving you time to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for


  • Groups of friends looking to explore London and enjoy a gig
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist at Royal Albert Hall
  • Couples planning a musical weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want a touch of luxury

Food and Drink Options


The on-site restaurant, Scoff & Banter, serves up delicious European dishes with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients – perfect for pre-show dinners or post-gig bites. Breakfast is available and great for late risers after a long night. While 24/7 room service isn't listed, the central location means late-night eats are just a short walk away.

Nightlife Options


You're in a prime spot to explore Kensington’s classy bar scene, with cozy pubs and cocktail lounges nearby. While there's no on-site live music or nightclub, the hotel’s elegant vibe makes it a great place to unwind with a glass of wine after the show.

What People Say


Guests love the hotel’s charming architecture and friendly, professional staff. The proximity to concert venues and museums gets high praise, as does the comfort of the rooms and the quality of the food at Scoff & Banter. Many reviewers mention how easy it is to get around the city from this location.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests mention that rooms can be on the smaller side – not unusual for a heritage London building. A few reviewers noted that the older building means there are quirks like narrow hallways or older windows, but it adds to the charm for most.

The Bottom Line


For concert-goers who want a classy, comfortable stay within walking distance of the Royal Albert Hall, the Radisson Blu Edwardian Vanderbilt hits all the right notes.

Horrible

Liked: Nada!
Disliked: The structure is terrible, I stayed in a room where the door to the corridor slammed all day, I couldn’t get any comfort, old structure, no cosiness at all. The food in the restaurant was awful, they served me salmon that smelled terrible. I couldn’t sleep because the building was so noisy. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone!

Great location, nice property, staff...

Liked: The breakfast buffet itself was great, but the ability for the staff to handle everyone wanting breakfast was terrible. Our room was nice.
Disliked: Our room wasn't ready when we arrived. We were offered a complimentary drink in the bar while we waited - but now I see a charge on my CC, so need to investigate why we were charged.

It was awefull

Liked: The room was so tiny and filthy. No air ventelation. Workers every day in the isles. Starring at us even had the one old man working there walk pass me and sniffed me. It was so degrading and discusting. I felt unsafe and violated. Check the cameras room 327 on Monday at about 12 or 12.30.
Disliked: Did not like the construction in the allies and the workers starring at a person. Carpet on the room disgusting. We did not even had toilet paper in our room on Monday and asking anything at reception was such a tall order. The guy with the beard and tatoos cant even speak english properly.
