Balconies wrap around the front of the building on the first floor. All rooms have high ceilings, four-poster beds made by Julian Chicester, and large bathrooms with freestanding clawfoot baths. Additionally, the group has a substantial art collection that they’re featuring in all the hotels, including works by Irish artists (a nod to the hotel group’s Irish heritage), including Louis le Brocquy, Nora McGuinness, John Shinnors, Patrick Scott, and Barrie Cooke. And last, only naturally in a place so elegant-chic, there will be a members’ only club opening at The Kensington this summer. This only leaves the question, “Where is this posh uncle to pay the bill?”
