Number Sixteen

Top choice in Kensington & Hyde Park


With uplifting splashes of colour, choice art and a sophisticated-but-fun design ethos, Number Sixteen is simply ravishing. There are 41 individually designed rooms, a cosy drawing room, library and honesty bar. And wait till you see the idyllic, long back garden set around a pond stocked with koi or sit down for breakfast in the light-filled conservatory.

Great amenities for families too. Lovely room 209 looks down to Sumner Pl.
