Thistle Kensington Gardens

Located in Kensington Gardens near Hyde Park, Thistle Kensington Gardens is one of the rare four star hotels in London that can boast royal neighbours. In fact, the ?house next door? to Thistle Kensington Gardens hotel is Kensington Palace, former out-of-town retreat of William III, birthplace of Queen Victoria and, more recently, home of Diana, Princess of Wales.

And from many of our recently refurbished bedrooms, including 37 Executive rooms, you?ll enjoy superb views over her magnificent creation.
