of hospitality — perfect for a weekend getaway. Te Doyle Collection is a fami- ly-owned Irish hotel group, with three distinctive and beautifully designed, art-filled hotels in London to choose from: Te Kensington, Te Bloomsbury and Te Marylebone. Te Kensington is set in grand, white

stucco town houses (four, reconfigured into one) in Queen’s Gate, the heart of South Kensington. Guests are just moments away from Hyde Park and the museums of Exhibition Road in one direction, and a short walk from the designer boutiques and restaurants of Brompton Cross and Knightsbridge in the other. Proximity has enabled the hotel
team to build a close relationship with the V&A, which gives guests access to some of the capital’s most sought- after, high profile exhibitions (think McQueen, Chanel), even when sold out. Culture meets culinary art in the hotel’s afternoon tea, where the pastry chef conjures delicious confections inspired by works of contemporary art. Te K Bar, a hidden gem with a glam- orous local crowd, mixes wood panel- ling, chandeliers and mirrored tables; an ideal home for its award-winning cocktail maestros. For a supremely comfortable stay in
the West End, choose Te Marylebone. Set on the edge of Marylebone Village with its artisan stores, independent boutiques and delicatessens, it’s a short walk from Bond Street and Selfridges, and close to Regent’s Park. Tree of the hotel’s suites have
expansive terraces, with endless views over rooftops, and bedrooms are surprisingly quiet for such a central location. Tey were praised in the most recent Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Awards ‘for those who like to be close to the action but who also like to be

And guests are gifted membership (for the duration of their stay) to the renowned gym, Tird Space, with its state-of- the-art fitness studios and a large pool, a rarity in central London. Between the buzz of theatre- Garden
land, Covent
and Te
British Museum stands a handsome neo-Georgian red brick landmark building designed and built by Sir Edwin Lutyens for the YWCA in 1928, today home to Te Bloomsbury. An oasis from the crowds, Te
Bloomsbury is best known for its desti- nation restaurants and bars; Te Coral Room, a glamorous and glossy gem of a bar, fun and renowned for its excel- lent cocktails; Dalloway Terrace, heady with blooms, for dining al fresco; and Te Bloomsbury Club, for late night dates, home to live jazz and superb wines and cocktails, sipped from deep in a leather banquette. Te team enjoy a close relationship
with theatres (and access to tickets), including Te Donmar Warehouse, where the intimacy of the venue and stellar casting (actors such as Nicole Kidman and David Tennant have appeared there) means almost every show sells out.
