Playful luxury and curious design in the heart of Kensington
Tucked away in South Kensington, The Ampersand brings a playful twist to boutique luxury. Inspired by its museum district neighbours, the hotel weaves together five delightful themes – astronomy, botany, geometry, music, and ornithology – creating rooms that are as curious as they are stylish. Think velvet headboards, quirky wallpapers, and charming accents that make each space a delight to discover.
The Deluxe Studios are perfect for longer stays, offering plenty of space to stretch out, with plush sofas, writing desks, and sumptuous freestanding baths. For those wanting something
extra special, the top-floor suites offer a little more indulgence with breathtaking views across the London skyline and generous living spaces. Expect one-of-a-kind design flourishes and luxurious touches that make staying in just as tempting as heading out.
Downstairs, Apero serves Mediterranean flavours in a cosy, stylish setting, while the award-winning Science Afternoon Tea at The Drawing Room is a quirky take on tradition, inspired by the hotel’s scientific neighbours. At The Ampersand, every detail is a conversation starter, turning a stay into
a story worth telling.
