In 2008 there was an extensive £10 million restoration and refurbishment programme at the hotel which completed in July 2009. The investment has seen the Edwardian façade lovingly restored, and bedrooms completely modernised with a vibrant colour palette of rich reds, greys and creams, stylish contemporary furnishings and state of the art technology including LCD TVs.

The public areas have been transformed including the new restaurant and bar which offer a twist of traditional Edwardian features with modern furnishings and soft atmospheric lighting.

Whether it’s work or pleasure, The Kingsley combines a blend of contemporary comforts and Edwardian charm.

Located in the heart of London, the hotel with its 129 bedrooms and 7 meeting rooms is an ideal base for business, due to its close proximity to tube and national rail stations, or for leisure breaks to enjoy some of the capital’s best attractions; London landmarks like the British Museum, Covent Garden, Oxford Street and the West End theatres are within easy walking distance.

The newly refurbished Deluxe rooms have the extra space and amenities you need to make your stay feel just that bit special. With a vibrant colour palette and luxurious soft furnishings, all rooms have a contemporary décor and modern feel. Power showers and air-conditioning enhance the level of comfort, and there’s room for a spacious work desk and a state of the art LCD TV; And when you’ve finished checking your emails via BT Openzone wireless broadband connection, there’s a digital safe where you can store your laptop.

At The Kingsley you have a choice of dining right through the day and on into the night. Relaxed and welcoming, the contemporary refurbished 'Kingsley Two' Brasserie has an enticing menu featuring a range of British and European dishes, complemented by an extensive wine list.

Meanwhile, the Bar and Lounge serves a wide range of drinks, snacks and light meals in informal surroundings – perfect between meetings, after work or before dinner. And if you’re starting early, or staying up late, the full room service menu means you can always get hold of a drink, snack or light meal, even out of hours.
