The Bailey's Hotel, an iconic Victorian housetown hotel located in the heart of South Kensington, characterises itself by a distinctive sense of sophistication and style. Opened in 1876, this impressive property is steeped in history full of character, contemporary comforts, and amenities with quintessential English décor and charm throughout. With our recently completed £7.5M renovation, the Victorian era has been re-born with turn of the century stories of London, featuring four key areas of the capital: City Gent; Henley-on-Thames; Kew Gardens; and South Kensington and the Great Exhibition. Our hotel is ideal for all types of travel. Business and short-term travellers love our Classic Single guest rooms, due to their combination of practicality and comfort. Coples or solo travellers looking for more space should check into one of our Classic Double rooms, as they are the perfect escape after a long day of meetings or sightseeing through the city. For those looking for extra storage space, our Deluxe guest rooms are a great option. We offer them with twin, queen, and king-size bed options. If you would like to take your stay to the next level, consider upgrading into one of our Luxury guest rooms and enjoy additional space, luxury bathrobes, a sitting area with a larger TV, access to The Bailey's Lounge and buffet breakfast in the morning.
