“Ellen Kensington impresses with its blend of luxury and wellness, a calm counterpoint to its central London location. I'm particularly drawn to the detail of the wellness garden yoga classes, and the interactive art displays that highlight local talent. Its proximity to cultural hotspots like the Natural History Museum is a definitive plus.”
