Radisson Edwardian Vanderbilt Hotel - These 10 Victorian town houses were elegantly converted into a stylish 223 bedroom hotel in fashionable South Kensington. A walk away from world-class museums and galleries and close to Knightsbridge (Harrods is just a short walk), Kensington High Street, Hyde Park, Earls Court and Olympia. The Vanderbilt, a former grand home to the infamous Vanderbilt family, still retains most of its original fascinating features from its stained glass windows to its elegantly painted ceiling which greets you as you enter the home. This hotel offers character that is rarely apparent in London hotels today. *
