100 Queen’s Gate Hotel
After walking around London, having the perfect spot to relax at the end of the day is a must. We stayed at the newly remodeled 100 Queen’s Gate Hotel. As the former home of a Victorian aristocrat, it is located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and was transformed from seven townhomes into the hotel we see today. 100 Queen’s Gate Hotel is one of Hilton Hotels Curio Collection of unique, upscale boutique locations offering stylish decor and personalized accommodations.
THE ROOM
Our stay was in the Atrium Deluxe Queen Room, which is one of their larger guest rooms. The modern room included a fireplace, flat screen tv, mini fridge, espresso machine and full size mirror. The bathroom also offered all your comforting amenities such as bathrobes, slippers and the Floris perfumery bath products.
* Editors note: Since the writing this post, bathroom amenities are offered by Molton Brown luxury products.

BOTANICA
Located in a gorgeous sky-high atrium, Botanica offers the perfect backdrop for a relaxing Afternoon Tea.
W/A KENSINGTON
The W/A Kensington restaurant offers modern European cuisine where you can can grab either breakfast or have brasserie-style dinner. For dinner we ordered the Seabass fillet with crab remoulade, sweet potato bonbon, pickled fennel and mousse de Pernod and the Truffle Chicken Roulade which came with charred leeks, petite ratatouille, carrot purée, basil snow.
* Editors note: Since the writing of this post, this restaurant is now named, Cento and offers breakfast.
ESQ BAR
Located down in the lower level den, ESQ is the perfect late night rendevouz for drinks. Mixologists serve a great mix of curated cocktails and innovatively infused spirits. They have some small plates and a few main meals. I ordered a “Breakfast At Tiffanys”, which is a chic little mix of vodka, pamplemousse rose, raspberry purée, lemon and topped with egg white. My fiancé ordered a classic “Paloma” cocktail entailing tequila, fresh grapefruit, soda water, lime juice, agave syrup and salt. All in all a great vibe to end the night.
There are some local activities that include:
- Natural History Museum
- Science Museum
- Royal Albert Hall – The hotel can offer tickets at discounted rates

Our stay at 100 Queen’s Gate felt like the perfect London retreat — elegant, comfortable, and quietly luxurious. Between the timeless charm of Kensington and the hotel’s modern touches, it was the perfect place to slow down, explore the city, and unwind in style. Any questions or comments , let me know below!
