Close to Gloucester Road. Close to restaurants, bars and public transportation. Inadequate rooms with subpar service. Vibe is not too good.
Situated in a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of the London Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, The Cranley is one of London's most charming townhouse hotels, comprised of 3 buildings built in 1869. More than a hotel, The Cranley is an ideal city-centre haven appealing equally to the discerning business or leisure traveller wanting a tranquil residence in the heart of London. It is within easy walking distance of most famous London museums and exclusive shops.
The Cranley offers an elegant aesthetic; rooms are coloured by a Regency palette in striking combinations of Chinese blue, mustard, plum and stone with Farrow and Ball paints, beds are handcrafted and cosseting, covered in handstitched Irish linens and wools. Antique mahogany furniture, period oil paintings and brass fittings complete the design. All rooms offer the most up-to-date technology. Service is sophisticated yet unobtrusive.
Located in South Kensington, The Cranley is within easy walking distance of London attractions and is a short taxi ride to two of London's main-line stations, Paddington and Victoria. The Cranley is also easily accessible from the capital's airports, Heathrow and Gatwick, via express train services to either station.
