Number Sixteen

Boutique City Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.0
 

Number Sixteen is a charming and ultra-chic boutique hotel occupying a row of gleaming white stucco mid-Victorian townhouses in cosmopolitan South Kensington, redesigned by Kit Kemp in her signature fresh modern English style, offering an intimate and glamorous alternative to larger London hotels since its original opening in the 1980s.

The hotel features individually styled rooms and suites, each reflecting contemporary design with luxurious fabrics, furnishings, hints of bold colour, air conditioning, flat-screen satellite TVs, minibars, iPod docking stations, and 24-hour room service. Some rooms include French windows opening to small balconies, blending elegance with modern comfort in a Firmdale Hotels property.

Afternoon tea is served all day and can be enjoyed in the private garden, conservatory, drawing room, or library, providing serene spaces for relaxation amid the hotel's collection of inviting public rooms perfect for unwinding after exploring bustling London.

Number Sixteen enjoys a prime location in South Kensington, surrounded by an array of bars, shops, and restaurants, with South Kensington Underground Station just a 3-minute walk away on the Piccadilly, Circle, and District lines for seamless connections across the city.
