Situated in a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart
of the London's Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, The Cranley is
one of London's most charming townhouse hotels. More than an hotel, The
Cranley is an ideal city-centre haven appealing equally to the discerning
business or leisure traveller wanting a tranquil residence in the heart
of London.
Conveniently located in South Kensington, The Cranley is within easy
walking distance of many great London attractions including famous London
museums and exclusive shops. Equidistant from two of London's main-line
stations, Paddington and Victoria, The Cranley is also easily accessible
from London's main airports, Heathrow and Gatwick, via express train services
to either station.
The Cranley brings together the best of established hotel tradition
and service, plus the advantages of the most up-to-date technology expected
from a top-class London hotel of the 21st century. Furnished with wonderful
antiques, The Cranley has an understated elegance and air of sophistication.
The colours used throughout the hotel rooms and reception areas, striking
combinations of Chinese blue. mustard, plum and stone, are derived from
the original 19th-century floor tiles in the hotel's entrance hall.
The Cranley's commitment to service is reflected in the extra hotel
amenities offered to guests. As well as complimentary English tea and afternoon
scones and a complimentary aperitif and canapes each evening, an imaginative
Room Service menu is also available for hotel guests wishing to dine in
the comfort of their room.
A warm welcome awaits you at The Cranley, whether it is your first visit
to the hotel or, if you are one of our many regular guests.
Accommodation - A number of 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 we have dispensed
with Victorian horse-hair 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 we have 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.
You can start the day with our copious continental breakfast, including
freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee ground on the premises. After
your day out you can come back to a complimentary English afternoon tea
of warm scones with clotted cream, whilst in the evening you can help yourself
to an aperitif and some canapés. Alternatively, you can order a
light luncheon or supper from our imaginative Room Service menu throughout
the day and evening.
Facilities - The tradition of the 19th century is
combined with the technology of the 21st. Each room has air conditioning,
2 telephone lines with modem connection, individual telephone numbers (DDI),
voicemail, high-speed data transmission cable, broadband Internet access
with security firewall, electronic safe and modern plumbing with pressurised
hot and cold water.
