stay

Situated in a quite street in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, The Cranley is one of London’s most charming Town House Hotels. An ideal city centre haven appealing equally to the discerning business or leisure traveller, The Cranley brings together the best of established tradition and service, and the advantages of the most up to date technology expected from a top class hotel of the 21st Century.

A number of the rooms boast elegant king-size four-poster beds, whilst the majority are furnished with equally dramatic half-tester canopied beds.
However, you will be glad to know that they have dispensed with Victorian horsehair mattresses in favour of luxurious sprung mattresses. Curtains and bed hangings are natural linen whilst the headboards and valances are hand embroidered; the beds are dressed with cotton sheets, large square feather pillows, and traditional pure woollen blankets.

Every room has an antique desk or writing table with conveniently placed power and telecommunication sockets; most rooms also have a separate table enabling you to enjoy room service without disturbing your work.

The bathrooms have traditional Victorian style fittings combined with a lavish use of warm limestone, whilst behind the scenes there lies excellent modern plumbing with pressurised hot and cold water. With every room also having air-conditioning, you will enjoy the peace and quiet, and comfort, of The Cranley.

The Cranley will become your home away from home. Friendly and intelligent staff will attend to your every need, and with no request either too large or too small.

Awaiting you are London’s great attractions, many of which are within easy walking distance including the museums or Exhibition Road and the immense variety of shops and restaurants in Knightsbridge and the King’s Road – from the most exclusive to the trendy and avant-garde.
