The Adria

Victorian Elegance Meets Modern Comfort in Kensington

The Adria is a luxury boutique hotel nestled in a stunning Victorian townhouse in the heart of Kensington. Designed with opulence in mind, this stylish retreat offers a blend of classic charm and modern tech—from sleek marble bathrooms with underfloor heating to HD iMedia hubs and in-room espresso machines. Located just a short stroll from London's most iconic museums and only 5 minutes’ walk from South Kensington and Gloucester Road tube stations, The Adria is a refined base for concert-goers seeking both comfort and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

With central London venues easily accessible by tube, The Adria is a great choice for fans heading out to a show. After the encore, return to a calm, quiet neighborhood perfect for unwinding. Late check-out at 12:00 means you won’t need to rush out after a late-night gig. While it’s not a party hotel, the peaceful vibe and plush rooms make it ideal for post-concert recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for upscale comfort near central venues
- Solo travelers on a musical pilgrimage
- Couples wanting a romantic weekend with a concert twist
- Fans needing a serene space after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers looking to splurge a little on luxury

Food and Drink Options

The Adria offers a gourmet breakfast with eggs cooked to order, fresh pastries, and fruit—all perfect for a slow start after a late night. The Garden Room with its retractable roof is a charming spot for coffee or tea, and the hotel serves healthy juices and non-alcoholic cocktails. While there's no on-site bar serving alcohol, you’re just a short walk from excellent eateries and cafes in Kensington.

Nightlife Options

While The Adria keeps things quiet in-house, its location makes it easy to reach London’s nightlife. Head to nearby Soho or Camden via the tube for live music, bars, and clubs—or explore local pubs and lounges just a few blocks away for a more relaxed scene.
