- JJay29/01/2024The hotel went above and beyond The hotel went above and beyondWe booked the Kensington Arts hotel for our wedding night. Its small foot print <20 rooms made it the perfect boutique hotel for our first night as husband and wife. The hotel went above and beyond setting out an array of electric tea lights so when we entered it was the most romantic ever. We had arranged a special brunch for our family and friends the next morning. The food was spectacular and the staff catering staff could not do enough for us.
