About The Pelham Hotel
The Pelham Hotel is South Kensington's definitive boutique — a Victorian townhouse on Cromwell Place, steps from the Natural History Museum, the V&A, and the Science Museum, run by the Firmdale Hotels group with the warmth and design intelligence that distinguishes all their properties. Kit Kemp's interiors here reference the neighbourhood's Victorian museum culture: scientific illustrations, natural history prints, and a palette of warm ochres and deep greens that feel rooted in the collecting instincts of the great Victorians. The hotel's 52 rooms each have individual character. Kempstons bar and restaurant serves modern British food and excellent cocktails to a mix of museum professionals, Kensington locals, and international visitors. The location between Cromwell Road and Pelham Street is perfectly placed for the Royal College of Music, Imperial College, and the museums' great seasonal exhibitions. Best for: museum visitors and exhibition-goers, South Kensington residents and their guests, those attending the Royal Albert Hall, and anyone who loves Kit Kemp's design sensibility.
