The Bentley has recently opened in Harrogate Gardens, Kensington, claiming to be the capital’s most opulent new hotel.

Owned and operated by International Luxury Hotels, the hotel has 64 bedrooms and a suite, three private dining rooms, a spa and two restaurants.

Luxurious materials have been used throughout the Victorian property; the Gilbert private dining room is decorated in burgundy velvet, the Cigar Divan lined with mahogany and the wine cellars are clad in marble.

The Le Kalon spa features a full-size Hamam Turkish bath as its focal point, which is lined with Marmara marble and features carved lion heads as water faucets.

The brasserie-style Periodot and upmarket 1880 restaurant are run by chef, Andrew Turner. Details: www.thebentley-hotel.com
