New Kensington Site Visits

The Millennium Baileys is a sister property to the Millennium Gloucester, and its history as a Gentlemen’s Club means that it is steeped in character. The hotel has recently undergone a refurbishment, and this shows in all areas of the hotel, especially the bar and restaurant area, which is busy every night of the week. There are no meeting spaces on site, but works well for a place for delegates attending meetings at the Millennium Gloucester to go for a change of scenery.

Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington 

The lobby of this venue is really impressive, as are the staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The venue is directly connected to its own dedicated conference centre, which has a staggering 25 separate meeting spaces, including the lovely conservatory, which would be perfect for an evening reception or event. All of the bedrooms are the same size, which is convenient for housing multiple delegates. Everything about this venue is impressive. There is an underground car park with 300 spaces.

The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is a very large, imposing building in a convenient location, with a less than convenient entrance (you have to walk around the side of the building, past all the loading bays of the hotel). The meeting spaces are contained in “The Academy”, which was fully furbished only a year ago, the Holiday Inn’s dedicated meeting area of the hotel. There are 13 different meeting spaces which are served by self-service refreshment areas and their own dedicated registration desks. The building really is not much to look at from the outside, but this is not reflected in the interior.

The entrance to Kensington Close Hotel is very grand and leads on to a large reception area with a relaxed bar area with lots of space. There are 12 newly refurbished meeting rooms which can accommodate anything from 2-250 delegates. Many of the larger rooms can be partitioned and are therefore very flexible. The breakout areas are lovely and refreshments can often be served inside of the meeting rooms. There is a lovely garden area, but this only available to use until 8pm, due to the residential surroundings

The entrance to Kensington Close Hotel is very grand and leads on to a large reception area with a relaxed bar area with lots of space. There are 12 newly refurbished meeting rooms which can accommodate anything from 2-250 delegates. Many of the larger rooms can be partitioned and are therefore very flexible. The breakout areas are lovely and refreshments can often be served inside of the meeting rooms. There is a lovely garden area, but this only available to use until 8pm, due to the residential surroundings

Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum

The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is a very large, imposing building in a convenient location, with a less than convenient entrance (you have to walk around the side of the building, past all the loading bays of the hotel). The meeting spaces are contained in “The Academy”, which was fully furbished only a year ago, the Holiday Inn’s dedicated meeting area of the hotel. There are 13 different meeting spaces which are served by self-service refreshment areas and their own dedicated registration desks. The building really is not much to look at from the outside, but this is not reflected in the interior.

Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington 

The lobby of this venue is really impressive, as are the staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The venue is directly connected to its own dedicated conference centre, which has a staggering 25 separate meeting spaces, including the lovely conservatory, which would be perfect for an evening reception or event. All of the bedrooms are the same size, which is convenient for housing multiple delegates. Everything about this venue is impressive. There is an underground car park with 300 spaces.

Millennium Baileys Hotel London Kensington

The Millennium Baileys is a sister property to the Millennium Gloucester, and its history as a Gentlemen’s Club means that it is steeped in character. The hotel has recently undergone a refurbishment, and this shows in all areas of the hotel, especially the bar and restaurant area, which is busy every night of the week. There are no meeting spaces on site, but works well for a place for delegates attending meetings at the Millennium Gloucester to go for a change of scenery. 

Copthorne Tara Hotel, London Kensington

Outside of the venue there are traditionally dressed concierges, who are waiting to help delegates and guests. Upon entering, you are greeted by a large lobby area with a multitude of different shops, including a gift shop. Due to the fact the venue is in a quieter area, you are able to drive directly to the entrance of the hotel. The meeting rooms are all decorated traditionally and a conscious effort has been made to keep the rooms as authentic as possible, evident in the wooden panels in the Shannon Suite. There are also spaces to cater for larger events. None of the meeting spaces have natural daylight.

Royal Garden Hotel

The venue is easily accessible with valet right at the entrance and an NCP car park directly next door. The lobby is extremely large and airy and there are plenty of staff on hand to help. The bar is on an upper level and overlooks to reception area. The hotel has a variety of different sized meeting rooms, including the Palace Suite, which can hold up to 550 delegates theatre style. The larger meeting rooms (The Palace Suite and the Kensington Suite) can be partitioned to make smaller spaces. In addition to this, the meetings spaces are served by their own private entrance. Only three of the meeting rooms have natural daylight, (the Balmoral, Highgrove and York).

Mercure London Kensington

This hotel is on the smaller side, and this is evident in the size of both the lobby and the bedrooms. There is only one meeting room on site, which can seat a maximum of 20 delegates’ theatre style, but it is possible to use the breakfast room as a meeting space. There is a small internet station just off of the main lobby and also a coffee shop. There does not seem to be much difference between a standard and executive bedroom, and there is only one meeting room.

There really is no missing the London Marriott Hotel Kensington, the large hotel is encapsulated by a glass atrium which reaches all the way to the top floors. The lobby is extremely large and bright, due to the glass walls and all the staff are very approachable. The hotel’s meeting spaces are now fully operational following a £1.3 million refurbishment at the end of 2014. The meeting rooms are designed with Marriott’s “Future of Meetings” concept in mind, which is a new focus on each meeting’s individuality and purpose. To move away from the perception of meeting spaces as just “tables and chairs” the meeting rooms are all equip with state of the art technology including a “click-share system” which allows multiple laptops or tablets to wirelessly connect to screens in the rooms. The break-out areas are cleverly designed to inspire “social, collaborative and mobile work”, with small work stations and plug sockets readily available. There are 9 meeting rooms in total, with the largest room being able to hold 101 delegates.

The lobby is large and all of the staff are very helpful and friendly. The meeting rooms are all fitted with the latest technology, including screens which can wirelessly connect to most laptops/i-pads/tablets. There are also whiteboards that blend in to the style of the room, lessening the needs for flip-charts. Some of the meeting rooms connect directly to a lovely terrace and garden area, which would be perfect for team building activities or reception drinks in the warmer months. All of the bedrooms are undergoing a refurbishment, which is due to be completed by March/April this year.

The bar is on an upper level and overlooks to reception area. The hotel has a variety of different sized meeting rooms, including the Palace Suite, which can hold up to 550 delegates theatre style. The larger meeting rooms (The Palace Suite and the Kensington Suite) can be partitioned to make smaller spaces. In addition to this, the meetings spaces are served by their own private entrance. Only three of the meeting rooms have natural daylight, (the Balmoral, Highgrove and York).  

Kensington Close Hotel

The entrance to Kensington Close Hotel is very grand and leads on to a large reception area with a relaxed bar area with lots of space. There are 12 newly refurbished meeting rooms which can accommodate anything from 2-250 delegates. Many of the larger rooms can be partitioned and are therefore very flexible. The breakout areas are lovely and refreshments can often be served inside of the meeting rooms. There is a lovely garden area, but this only available to use until 8pm, due to the residential surroundings

Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum

The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is a very large, imposing building in a convenient location, with a less than convenient entrance (you have to walk around the side of the building, past all the loading bays of the hotel). The meeting spaces are contained in “The Academy”, which was fully furbished only a year ago, the Holiday Inn’s dedicated meeting area of the hotel. There are 13 different meeting spaces which are served by self-service refreshment areas and their own dedicated registration desks. The building really is not much to look at from the outside, but this is not reflected in the interior.

Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington 

The lobby of this venue is really impressive, as are the staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The venue is directly connected to its own dedicated conference centre, which has a staggering 25 separate meeting spaces, including the lovely conservatory, which would be perfect for an evening reception or event. All of the bedrooms are the same size, which is convenient for housing multiple delegates. Everything about this venue is impressive. There is an underground car park with 300 spaces.

Millennium Baileys Hotel London Kensington

The Millennium Baileys is a sister property to the Millennium Gloucester, and its history as a Gentlemen’s Club means that it is steeped in character. The hotel has recently undergone a refurbishment, and this shows in all areas of the hotel, especially the bar and restaurant area, which is busy every night of the week. There are no meeting spaces on site, but works well for a place for delegates attending meetings at the Millennium Gloucester to go for a change of scenery. 

The Crowne Plaza Kensington is really easy to locate due to the lovely façade, with large flags draped either side of the Crowne Plaza signage. The lobby is large and all of the staff are very helpful and friendly. The meeting rooms are all fitted with the latest technology, including screens which can wirelessly connect to most laptops/i-pads/tablets. There are also whiteboards that blend in to the style of the room, lessening the needs for flip-charts. Some of the meeting rooms connect directly to a lovely terrace and garden area, which would be perfect for team building activities or reception drinks in the warmer months. All of the bedrooms are undergoing a refurbishment, which is due to be completed by March/April this year.

London Marriott Hotel Kensington

There really is no missing the London Marriott Hotel Kensington, the large hotel is encapsulated by a glass atrium which reaches all the way to the top floors. The lobby is extremely large and bright, due to the glass walls and all the staff are very approachable. The hotel’s meeting spaces are now fully operational following a £1.3 million refurbishment at the end of 2014. The meeting rooms are designed with Marriott’s “Future of Meetings” concept in mind, which is a new focus on each meeting’s individuality and purpose. To move away from the perception of meeting spaces as just “tables and chairs” the meeting rooms are all equip with state of the art technology including a “click-share system” which allows multiple laptops or tablets to wirelessly connect to screens in the rooms. The break-out areas are cleverly designed to inspire “social, collaborative and mobile work”, with small work stations and plug sockets readily available. There are 9 meeting rooms in total, with the largest room being able to hold 101 delegates.  

Mercure London Kensington

This hotel is on the smaller side, and this is evident in the size of both the lobby and the bedrooms. There is only one meeting room on site, which can seat a maximum of 20 delegates’ theatre style, but it is possible to use the breakfast room as a meeting space. There is a small internet station just off of the main lobby and also a coffee shop. There does not seem to be much difference between a standard and executive bedroom, and there is only one meeting room. 

Copthorne Tara Hotel, London Kensington

Outside of the venue there are traditionally dressed concierges, who are waiting to help delegates and guests. Upon entering, you are greeted by a large lobby area with a multitude of different shops, including a gift shop. Due to the fact the venue is in a quieter area, you are able to drive directly to the entrance of the hotel. The meeting rooms are all decorated traditionally and a conscious effort has been made to keep the rooms as authentic as possible, evident in the wooden panels in the Shannon Suite. There are also spaces to cater for larger events. None of the meeting spaces have natural daylight.

The bar is on an upper level and overlooks to reception area. The hotel has a variety of different sized meeting rooms, including the Palace Suite, which can hold up to 550 delegates theatre style. The larger meeting rooms (The Palace Suite and the Kensington Suite) can be partitioned to make smaller spaces. In addition to this, the meetings spaces are served by their own private entrance. Only three of the meeting rooms have natural daylight, (the Balmoral, Highgrove and York).  

Kensington Close Hotel

The entrance to Kensington Close Hotel is very grand and leads on to a large reception area with a relaxed bar area with lots of space. There are 12 newly refurbished meeting rooms which can accommodate anything from 2-250 delegates. Many of the larger rooms can be partitioned and are therefore very flexible. The breakout areas are lovely and refreshments can often be served inside of the meeting rooms. There is a lovely garden area, but this only available to use until 8pm, due to the residential surroundings

Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum

The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is a very large, imposing building in a convenient location, with a less than convenient entrance (you have to walk around the side of the building, past all the loading bays of the hotel). The meeting spaces are contained in “The Academy”, which was fully furbished only a year ago, the Holiday Inn’s dedicated meeting area of the hotel. There are 13 different meeting spaces which are served by self-service refreshment areas and their own dedicated registration desks. The building really is not much to look at from the outside, but this is not reflected in the interior.

Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington 

The lobby of this venue is really impressive, as are the staff who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The venue is directly connected to its own dedicated conference centre, which has a staggering 25 separate meeting spaces, including the lovely conservatory, which would be perfect for an evening reception or event. All of the bedrooms are the same size, which is convenient for housing multiple delegates. Everything about this venue is impressive. There is an underground car park with 300 spaces.

Millennium Baileys Hotel London Kensington

The Millennium Baileys is a sister property to the Millennium Gloucester, and its history as a Gentlemen’s Club means that it is steeped in character. The hotel has recently undergone a refurbishment, and this shows in all areas of the hotel, especially the bar and restaurant area, which is busy every night of the week. There are no meeting spaces on site, but works well for a place for delegates attending meetings at the Millennium Gloucester to go for a change of scenery.

Radisson Blu Edwardian, Vanderbilt

The Vanderbilt is conveniently located 2 minutes’ walk away from Gloucester Road underground station, which has direct tube links to London King’s Cross station. The building itself is converted town houses and because of this the venue fits in wonderfully to the surrounding areas. The lobby is decorated in an old English living room style, and has a small area with i-macs and printers, which are free to use. There are 12 meeting rooms in total, all of which have been recently refurbished to a high standard and include inbuilt sound systems and LCD projectors. The majority of the meeting rooms are on the lower ground floor, so they do not have natural daylight.

Crowne Plaza Kensington

The Crowne Plaza Kensington is really easy to locate due to the lovely façade, with large flags draped either side of the Crowne Plaza signage. The lobby is large and all of the staff are very helpful and friendly. The meeting rooms are all fitted with the latest technology, including screens which can wirelessly connect to most laptops/i-pads/tablets. There are also whiteboards that blend in to the style of the room, lessening the needs for flip-charts. Some of the meeting rooms connect directly to a lovely terrace and garden area, which would be perfect for team building activities or reception drinks in the warmer months. All of the bedrooms are undergoing a refurbishment, which is due to be completed by March/April this year.

London Marriott Hotel Kensington

There really is no missing the London Marriott Hotel Kensington, the large hotel is encapsulated by a glass atrium which reaches all the way to the top floors. The lobby is extremely large and bright, due to the glass walls and all the staff are very approachable. The hotel’s meeting spaces are now fully operational following a £1.3 million refurbishment at the end of 2014. The meeting rooms are designed with Marriott’s “Future of Meetings” concept in mind, which is a new focus on each meeting’s individuality and purpose. To move away from the perception of meeting spaces as just “tables and chairs” the meeting rooms are all equip with state of the art technology including a “click-share system” which allows multiple laptops or tablets to wirelessly connect to screens in the rooms. The break-out areas are cleverly designed to inspire “social, collaborative and mobile work”, with small work stations and plug sockets readily available. There are 9 meeting rooms in total, with the largest room being able to hold 101 delegates.  

Mercure London Kensington

This hotel is on the smaller side, and this is evident in the size of both the lobby and the bedrooms. There is only one meeting room on site, which can seat a maximum of 20 delegates’ theatre style, but it is possible to use the breakfast room as a meeting space. There is a small internet station just off of the main lobby and also a coffee shop. There does not seem to be much difference between a standard and executive bedroom, and there is only one meeting room. 

Copthorne Tara Hotel, London Kensington

Outside of the venue there are traditionally dressed concierges, who are waiting to help delegates and guests. Upon entering, you are greeted by a large lobby area with a multitude of different shops, including a gift shop. Due to the fact the venue is in a quieter area, you are able to drive directly to the entrance of the hotel. The meeting rooms are all decorated traditionally and a conscious effort has been made to keep the rooms as authentic as possible, evident in the wooden panels in the Shannon Suite. There are also spaces to cater for larger events. None of the meeting spaces have natural daylight.
