Residence Inn by Marriott London Kensington

Stylish Apartment Living Steps from Kensington High Street

Modern and spacious, the Residence Inn by Marriott London Kensington blends apartment-style living with hotel convenience in one of West London’s most well-connected neighborhoods. Just a short walk from Earl’s Court and Olympia, it’s the perfect base for music lovers looking to be close to the action but still enjoy a relaxed, residential vibe.

The hotel’s contemporary self-contained apartments come with fully-equipped kitchens, walk-in showers, and separate lounge areas—ideal for stretching out after a high-energy show. Plus, with complimentary WiFi in public areas and a 24-hour gym on-site, you'll have all the comforts of home with the perks of a hotel stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

With two Tube stations within a 10-minute walk and easy access to venues like Earl’s Court and the Olympia Exhibition Centre, you won’t need to stress about transport. The apartments are surprisingly quiet considering the central location—perfect for recharging after loud nights. Flexible check-in at 15:00 and a generous checkout time of 12:00 make life easier when you’re out late.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want to share a space and cook together
- Solo travelers seeing a must-see act with privacy and comfort
- Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend
- Fans needing a quieter recovery spot after a loud evening
- Budget-conscious music fans who want the value of a kitchen and more space

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no restaurant on-site, each apartment has a full kitchen—so midnight snacks and lazy breakfasts are totally doable. Kensington High Street, just three minutes away, is packed with eateries for every taste and budget. Several local cafés offer breakfast late into the day, ideal after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

You’re just a short walk or Tube ride from some of London’s top nightlife. Whether you’re heading to a pre-show dinner or a post-concert drink, nearby bars and lounges in Notting Hill and West Kensington offer plenty of options. For a more chilled vibe, kick back in your apartment’s comfy lounge area with a drink of your own.

What People Say

Guests love the size and cleanliness of the apartments, especially the fully-equipped kitchens and modern bathrooms. Reviews often mention the quiet atmosphere despite the central location, and the ease of getting to nearby venues. The staff also gets high marks for being friendly and helpful.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that the communal laundry facilities can get busy, and that the property doesn’t have an on-site restaurant or bar. But with so many options nearby and the ability to cook your own meals, it’s a fair trade-off for the space and privacy.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want extra space, comfort, and easy access to London’s top music venues, Residence Inn by Marriott London Kensington hits all the right notes.
