Create memorable experiences at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington

At the heart of Kensington’s vibrant hospitality scene, the Royal Garden Hotel, which opened its doors again in April 2022, occupies one of the most exciting locations in London, just off Kensington High Street. Overlooking Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens and within easy reach of popular attractions such as Kensington Palace, Royal Albert Hall and South Kensington’s Museum quarter, the hotel sits at the heart of one of the capital’s most visited areas, perfect for family days out and staycations.

About Royal Garden Hotel

The Royal Garden Hotel’s redesign, which was completed by main contractors County Contractors, alongside D&I Joinery, spanned its roster of 177 rooms and suites overlooking Kensington Palace Gardens and the London skyline, delivering an important upgrade to coincide with the resurgence of travel bookings in 2022. Finished to an excellent standard, the redesigned rooms reflect the hotel’s reputation for a modern and luxurious style, providing a tailored five-star experience for visitors from around the world. 

Eating and Drinking

The hotel’s new ground-floor restaurant Origin Kensington launched in September 2022. Origin Kensington serves seasonal top-quality British cuisine in a bright and comfortable space with excellent views overlooking the natural beauty of Kensington Gardens. In addition to its lunch and dinner menu, the restaurant provides a weekend bottomless brunch, featuring exquisite small plates and fabulous cocktails. We have hosted many events there including Mother’s day brunch and dinners.

Executive Chef John Serhal and his team have curated a menu of quality without compromise, which will exclusively feature locally and nationally sourced ingredients, celebrating the best of British seasonal produce. To provide the finest ingredients, Origin Kensington is partnering with some of the country’s premium suppliers, including H. Forman & Son for their renowned London cured smoked salmon, and Aubrey Allen, the Royal household’s preferred butcher. 

Origin Kensington’s launch marks a further new chapter for the Royal Garden Hotel, creating a luxurious and friendly experience for its international guests. The new restaurant will complement the ever-popular and acclaimed Min Jiang, the hotel’s top-floor Asian restaurant, a staple in Kensington’s culinary scene.
