Ah, finally we arrived in London. It was good to be back in a city that we have both visited and loved dearly. We had a bit of trouble buying our Underground tickets, but finally got on our way and quickly realized that we had way overpacked for this trip. We tried to do things fairly economically, especially considering the exchange rate, and trying to wheel our bulky luggage around on the crowded Underground wasn't too much fun. However, in spite of the rain we made it to the Parkcity Kensi...

We had a 9:30 PM flight on a A330 Sky Bus out of MSP International airport last night and we made it over the pond in approximately 8 hours. Tracy mapped out out the route from Heathrow to our hotel, which lead us through the Piccadilly Tube line without any troubles. Currently we are staying at the Parkcity in Kensington; a quaint yet bustling neighborhood of London. We are quite pleased with the hotel & staff thus far. The Parkcity isa real nice place; clean, up-to-date & cozy. We could...

We slept until 10:30 AM London time today. Doesn't sound too of the ordinary...however, we went to bed at 12 midnight the night before, so you do the math. Nonetheless, we planned on making it to Buckingham Palace and then to see the Westminster Abbey. We walked to Buckingham from our place (approximately 2.5 miles) and took a few photos. A few blocks over we viewed the Abbey and lastly went into St. Margaret's church. The church was built in the 1500's, the oldest building we have ever been ...

We made our way to Tower Hill by way of the District line around 1:30 PM today. We seen the London tower, Traitors Gate & Deadman's hole; also seen the spectacular London Bridge all on the river Thames. Tracy and I blended in with the rest of the travelers and took turns snapping photos of complete strangers that spoke different languages. I found it really doesn't matter if complete strangers know the same language, especially when each want the other stranger to take a photo. The trick ...

No prizes for guessing that the London that greeted us was miserable, overcast and drizzling but nothing was going to dampen our spirits. Met our driver, Dave who took us through the morning traffic with ease and deposited us at The Park City Hotel in Lexham Gardens, Kensington which is a quaint and rather cute are having given us the cab window tour showing us sites along the way. On arrival at the hotel at around 9h30 we were advised that our room was not ready but the cheerful staff soon r...

Brilliant breakfast and gardens
Fantastic!
Stunning
Fantastic hotel!!!
Perfect - almost!
The rooms are also beautifully appointed with LCD tv (with internet capability) and a CD player. There's a lovely bathroom with a fantastic shower and the most comfortable bed I've slept in for a long time with gorgeous linen and a cosy down quilt. The blackout curtains were so effective, we slept in until nearly 10am and woke thinking it was still the middle of the night. On the down side, the standard rooms are a little small, although with plenty of storage space, and they have no tea/coffee making facilities! I know this is becoming the norm in upmarket hotels who want to capitalise on their room service, but I still prefer the freedom to make my own hot drink when I want to.
It's in a good location, with Earl's court tube only a few minutes walk away, and it's also very quiet. Even though our room overlooked the road at the front, we weren't troubled by traffic noise at all.
All in all a very pleasant stay, wish it had been for longer...
ParkCity Hotel - Recommended
Immediately upon walking in you get the sense that this is more than your average hotel and is closer to the boutique style of hotel that seems to be springing up in cosmopolitan areas.
The reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly, offering to take bags up to the room and I was also shown around the room and the facilities on offer.
The room we booked (standard double) had a king sized bed, draped in lovely sheets and fabrics. The room was decorated in a very modern and appealing style.
The stairs that led up to the bathroom were a quirky feature that set the room apart from your bog standard hotel room.
The bathroom was again of a generous size with modern fixtures and fitting - two shower heads in a large bath.
Fluffy bathrobes and towels were laid out for us, along with molton brown toiletries.
Although we went out for dinner, the menu for the lesandro restaurant looked extremely appealing and if we were to stay again, we would probably eat here.
The dining facilities were further complimented by Ruby's cocktail bar - an intimate, darkened piano bar with excellent waiting staff serving fabulous drinks.
Our rate included breakfast in the price, and we were more than please with the wide selection of continental and English fare on offer. Again the waiting staff were excellent - efficient and friendly.
All in all the whole experience was very relaxing and made our weekend even more special. We will come back in the summer to take full advantage of the gardens and the patio dining area.
This hotel comes highly recommended look out for special rates on the internet and you will get more than your monies worth.
Loved THE PARKCITY
Every detail of this new 4* Hotel in South Kensington was fantastic. The interior design and atmosphere were simple but not intimidatingly minimalist. Hotels that are too modern really put me off but at the Parkcity I felt they achieved the right balance of modern styling with comfort and friendliness. The room was excellent - quiet and relaxing, and it was nice to have a window over the garden even though it's still winter.
What really sold the hotel to me was the AMAZING restaurant. It's billed as gourmet Italian cuisine and it lives up to its billing. The menu was so delicious we ended up eating there every night - we stayed for four, and after the first meal we both decided that we didn't want to eat anywhere else. I could live on the courgette mousse Ravioli with King prawns. If my food-snob boyfriend likes a place then I know it's really good.
Thank you Trip Advisor for pointing me in the direction of this hotel - I wholeheartedly recommend you and the Parkcity and I'll be using both again!
Great new find
The staff was great and helped us although we arrived early on the morning. They even sent food up to the room so that our kids could eat before an acclimation nap.
The rooms were modern and comfortable with down bedspreads, etc. Even the kids' cots were similarly outfitted. There was a Bose radio and plasma TV with movie options too. And the blackout curtains worked great.
The breakfasts were plentiful and the waitstaff very gracious.
If you're looking for a 4 star equivalent hotel at an exceptional price this is it. The hotel opened only in November so hopefully its as a good a value on our next visit.
An Excellent Hotel - Great Professional Staff
I think the hotel is newly opened but there was none of the teething troubles sometimes encountered at other newly opened hotels. Indeed a lot of well established hotels could learn from it.
The staff are so professional and helpful (a real rarity for a London hotel) and nothing was too much trouble for them. The room was high quality and very peaceful so that I enjoyed a very good nights sleep. I ate in the restaurant which again I would highly recommend.
I would definitely return to this hotel again.
Great hotel
