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.

Good

Liked: Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location. Ventilation for the room was good. Bathroom good.
Disliked: When we arrived men were working on the room they had given us, they did change our room but men were still using noisy power tools throughout the hotel. Room was small. Bed is not comfy at all. I would even say lumpy.

Unsatisfactory

Liked: Nothing was great
Disliked: Made sure it had an elevator. They did not note theee were 8 steps to get into the place. Also when you tried to call the front desk they would not answer. Did not get wash cloths the 2nd night I went down and asked one of the desk people and they said they would bring some up and never did!

It was ok

Liked: The location is perfect. The breakfast is good
Disliked: Our keys had issues, our room was not ready at time of check in and we had a very small room and the air conditioning wasn’t great. I have stayed here a lot and this was the worst experience I have had. Nothing terrible but just wasn’t great.
