Blakes Hotel
33 Roland Gardens (London) SW7 3PF

Ideally located in a quiet part of South Kensington, the 5-star Blakes Hotel is known to be the world's first luxury boutique hotel. Boasting fine dining and sumptuous interior design by Anouska Hempel, it is just over 10 minutes' walk from central London's museum district. Elegantly styled with unique antiques and rich fabrics, the refined air-conditioned rooms also include a flat-screen TV and an iPod docking station. The beautifully styled bathrooms have complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer. Many rooms feature a four-poster bed and original artwork. A 24-hour room service is available. Blakes’s sophisticated Asian-style restaurant serves creative, well presented cuisine. Next to the restaurant, the Chinese Room and Bar offers cocktails and fine wines in relaxed surroundings. Set within an exclusive area of London, this unique hotel is only 10 minutes’ walk from stylish bars and the city's lively night life. Leafy Hyde Park and the historic Royal Albert Hall are both 1 mile from Blakes Hotel. Both South Kensington and Gloucester Road London Tube Station can be reached after a 10-minute walk.

What people say

The reputation of this chic boutique hotel precedes it... It may on first glance seem a little overly styled but in actual fact it has a real laid back and very discreet charm. The rooms are spotless, flawlessly presented and immaculately groomed to give the seasoned traveller a degree of comfort and relaxation with luxurious touches. The food is excellent and the service noteworthy, I would certainly stay here again.
all reviews » The bathroom was beautiful, my husband and I are both over 6ft and we fitted in the bath!! miracle! The manager was lovely and he made us feel welcome. The hotel is very nice, secluded, perfect for a getaway. Rooms are impeccable but expensive. Staff is very pleasant and accomodating . Beautiful room, lovely staff and excellent food. Made us feel really special from arrival to departure. Was provided a free upgrade. Room service breakfast - amazing service and taste !. One of the top 5 hotels in the world. Almost as good as L`Hotel in Paris. Beautiful room , very comfortable. Location, staff, cost. The staff were very nice and overall the hotel looked very nice. Decor Garden bathroom shower. The shower is a little irritating in that the dials to operate it are actually in a position where you can only reach them by standing in the shower...and the wifi was pants! Kept dropping out and was extremely frustrating as it became nigh on impossible to maintain the signal consistently... Not great when you have business to attend to. - Room was too small for a luxury double. - Room was too dark, could not apply my makeup accurately - Needed a mirror where the plugs were for doing hair. The room categories changed since my last visit and the rooms that used to be called luxury suites cost now about 50 percent more and are called Signature Suite. A totally artificial new category to justify a price increase. Service was slow in the restaurant. Was met by very arrogant staff that made me feel like a poor school boy. Drinks and food very expensive. Lighting. The choice and level of lighting available was too deem and very poor. It made the rooms appear dingy. The shower wasn't easy to control the water between hot and cold. On closer inspection the hotel room was a bit shabby (cig burn marks on bedside table and dressing table) lovely bath in the room and would have expected complimentary bubble baths but there were none. We ordered taxi through the hotel to go shopping and we discovered we had been overcharged on every taxi by £10. Lights in room didn't work beside bed prices for food staff got drinks orders wrong. Very small bedrooms, small bed, and old. 20 years ago it was beautifull. size of rooms toilet facialitites in restaurant.
