Bottom Line

The location of this more-handsome-than-most hotel is certainly its key selling point, balancing an urbane locale with super-quick access to London's lively center. Rooms don't always deliver, especially on space, but liberal use of African walnut and Sicilian marble contribute to an upmarket feel. The hotel's Scoff & Banter is considered one of London's better restaurants, and the general mood of arty sophistication is likely to impress. All in all, it's what you'd expect from an upscale chain hotel, but for something a little more unique at a slightly higher price, take a look at the nearby Montague on the Gardens.

Oyster Hotel Review

Radisson Blu Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel

Scene

Upscale sophistication with an artistic bent

The Radisson Blu Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel is housed in a grand, elegant, red-brick mansion block typical of its well-heeled Bloomsbury neighborhood. The bright, modern lobby is flooded with natural light from its numerous arched windows and a trio of sleek wooden reception desks are manned by smartly dressed check-in staff. The abundance of modern art on display, from sculpture to paintings, lends an air of high-brow sophistication to the hushed atmosphere, while eclectic furnishings introduce a sense of welcoming coziness.

Location

Bookish neighborhood in bustling central London

Situated in the smart and bookish neighborhood of Bloomsbury in central London, this hotel is walking distance from many of the capital's main attractions. The impressive British Museum is practically next door and Oxford Street's high-street shopping is just a few minutes' walk away. The theaters of the West End and Soho nightspots are also a short stroll away, while the hotel is two blocks from Tottenham Court Road Underground station. The hotel's location also allows easy access to-and-from the Eurostar from King's Cross-St. Pancras station -- about one-mile away from the hotel, reached via public transport.

Features

High-quality British cooking with afternoon tea

The hotel's bar and restaurant, Scoff & Banter, serves up a 'no nonsense' menu of British food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, among soft leather seating, oil paintings (modern takes on Dutch masterworks), and cool marble floors. Afternoon tea with typically British cakes and sandwiches can also be arranged. A fitness center is available on-site, and while not huge, it is very clean and bright, with running machines and a steam room. There is 24-hour room service, and in-room spa treatments include massages and manicures.
