5 Star*****

One of London's perfect gems, discreetly hidden in the heart of Kensington, yet only minutes away from the excitement of city life.  Once within the marble hall, the lavish opulence of the hotel's interior envelops the guests in a world of top class luxury.  The team at The Bentley are friendly and approachable, mindful of their role to ensure that a guests every need is matched with discreet and efficient service.

Six hundred tons of marble were imported from Turkey, Italy and Africa.  Dedicated craftsmen meticulously inlaid mosaic designs throughout the hotel.  Crystal chandeliers, Louis VX furnitire, the finest linen and softest pillows have all been brought together for guests to enjoy in sumptuous luxury. Gorgeous silk fabrics cover the walls of the 64 generously propotioned suited and rooms.  Large bathrooms, walk-in showers and jacuzzis are a feature in all the marble-lined bathrooms.  The Imperial, Royal and Presidential Suites boast their own dining rooms where private parties for up to twelve can enjoy privacy.

1880 - the date of the original building - is the name of the restaurant where head chef, Andrew Turner will sserve his unique and celebrated contemporary style of cruisine.  Peridot - an informal and spacious restaurant  looking out onto the garden square, is open daily for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea serving Andrew Turner's more informal cuisine, as well as favorite classics.  Malachite - a bar with all the mazzmatazz of the WEst End is the ideal meeting place whilst enjoying a refreshing cocktail. The Cigar Divan - a club like den, where the best cigars from Havana and fully matured whiskies and cognac will be served from crystal decanters.

There is something distinctly decadent about the Hamam, perhaps it is the space, or the acres of marble that cocoon you from the outside world.  Unique in London, this Turkish Bath is the focal point of Le Kalon, The Bentley's spa.  Therapists are on hand to massage and pummel away any stress and a relaxation room, where fruit juices and healthy snacks are served, ensures that you calmly return to the present day.
