Very relaxing
Very good and enjoyable stay. Clean and comfortable hotel. Long wait for lifts. As we were on the 1st floor, we were happy to walk down the stairs, but this was not an option. So just had to wait for 15 minutes for a lift with space.

The room was too warm and it was difficult to control the heat. A bit noisy next to the rail line.

Information about the area

London, United Kingdom

A stay at Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington places you in the heart of London, a 4-minute drive from Hyde Park and 8 minutes from Buckingham Palace. This eco-certified hotel is 3.5 mi (5.6 km) from Piccadilly Circus and 3.5 mi (5.7 km) from Trafalgar Square.

Among all European capitals, London holds the most profound place in the hearts of travelers. We become familiar with London even before we realize its existence, and when we finally visit the city, it never fails to meet our expectations. The iconic red double-decker buses, the police officers and stoic guards at Buckingham Palace, the historic Westminster Abbey, and the familiar chimes of Big Ben, all of which we've heard of before, greet us with a sense of satisfaction. However, London is full of surprises. It's not just a quaint city. It's not merely a museum, even though you could spend all your time hopping from one to another. It's a bustling, sprawling metropolis, filled with traffic jams, stores, and an incredibly diverse international population. Explore the numerous monuments that span nearly a thousand years of history, from Chaucer's grave to the pub where the Mayflower's captain drank, to Piccadilly Circus, one of London's most photographed locations. But don't overlook modern London, with its vibrant theatre scene, international cuisine, political protests, the latest in music and fashion, punks and aristocrats, and everyone in between. In 1777, writer Samuel Johnson said, "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life," and this statement still holds true. There's something new to experience every day in London.
