| Property Info
Located in South Kensington, a quiet residential neighborhood in west London, England, Blakes Hotel London has served as the original model of the "fashionable small hotel" for the past 20 years. Designed by Anouska Hempel and set in two Victorian mansions, the hotel is located one-half mile from Kings Road. Sandwiched between the affluent centers of Kensington and Chelsea, the area is home to an array of boutiques and restaurants amidst landmarks such as the Science Museum, Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Royal Albert Hall, and the Serpentine Gallery situated in the heart of Kensington Gardens. Founded in 1970, the Gallery attracts more than 400,000 visitors a year and is one of London's most popular locations for viewing modern and contemporary art and architecture. <br> Densely decorated in an East-meets- West style, the Blakes Hotel London features numerous Chinese, Japanese and Indian antiques as well as occasional Egyptian or Venetian curios. Each of the 48 guestrooms is individually themed, whether British Raj, black-lacquered Oriental or the Egyptian-themed Corfu Suite. The hotel is known for its plush beds, many with canopies, along with spacious marble baths. Other guestroom amenities include Bose CD players, DVD players with movie libraries, and full bars with oxygen, champagne, grapefruit soaps and candles. <br><br> The popular on-site restaurant serves a fusion of Thai and Mediterranean cuisines and provides 24-hour room service. Other hotel amenities and services include a full range of massage and beauty treatments, a white gravel ground-floor courtyard and roof garden available for drinks and dining, wireless Internet access throughout the hotel, secretarial and butler services, and limousine and Town Car services.
