THE OTHER HOUSE SOUTH KENSINGTON: THE ULTIMATE HYBRID EXPERIENCE IN HOSPITALITY
Welcome to The Other House South Kensington, the debut of a revolutionary hospitality brand in the UK. This innovative concept introduces The Residents Club, blending upscale hotel services with the exclusivity of a private members club, all within an apartment-style accommodation.
A Revolutionary Concept in Hospitality
Combining the comforts of home with the sophistication of a boutique hotel and the perks of a members club, The Other House South Kensington is perfect for business or leisure. The all-day brunch spot, The Other Kitchen, hums with local activity, while the destination cocktail bar, Owl & Monkey, offers a stylish setting for evening relaxation.
The private club, accessible only to residents and members, features two lounges ideal for working, relaxing, and socialising in beautiful surroundings. State-of-the-art wellbeing and fitness facilities, including a 24/7 gym, vitality pool, wellbeing concierge services by Mama Wellbeing, and OM Sound Baths by celebrity practitioner Leo Consedai, allow visitors to unwind at leisure.
Each meticulously designed Club Flat at The Other House South Kensington boasts bold interiors and open-plan living, featuring a sitting room, fully-equipped kitchenette, bedroom, and well-appointed shower room tailored for any length of stay.
Why Choose The Other House South Kensington?
Offering a unique experience, it combines the perks of a private members club with the freedom of having your own place in London. A bespoke app allows you to access services seamlessly and interact with staff as much (or as little) as you prefer. You can even check in virtually, going straight to your room without stopping at the front desk.
Despite its innovative concept, The Other House remains deeply connected to its surroundings. The lobby features a stunning chandelier resembling a garland of leaves, commissioned by Cox London to reflect the nearby private gardens. The decor is lush and opulent, with rainforest-themed elements like owl and monkey wallpaper in the bar, velvet cushions adorned with jewelled panther heads, and gilded parrots perched on lamp stands with fringed shades.
The unique design extends throughout the public areas, from the jacquard jackets with peacock motifs worn by the staff to the tropical waistcoats of the bartenders. Even the restrooms feature tactile armadillo-print wallpaper.
Residents and members can enjoy two main spaces: the Keeping Room, with its cosy armchairs and sofas in rich fabrics, a baby grand piano for impromptu singalongs, and intimate nooks perfect for afternoon cocktails; and the Hogsmire, a bright, tree-filled atrium with a courtyard vibe, complete with Panama hats hanging on twig-like pegs.
Near the lobby, the library offers a curated book selection by Pandora Sykes, featuring authors as varied as Gilly Cooper to Candice Carty-Williams and Charles Dickens. The space also showcases vibrant disruptor art, with elaborately framed pieces smeared with bright oil paint.
The Rooms at The Other House South Kensington
There is a wide range of accommodations to suit different needs. Options include cosy studio-style Club Pros, Club Turrets with vaulted ceilings, and spacious three-bedroom Club Vaults. For those looking for a compact London pied-a-terre, the smaller flats come with a fully equipped kitchenette, deep-orange velvet sofa, and TV. Larger groups or families might prefer the garden apartments, which open onto a covered courtyard for a riad-like experience.
The design features a moody aesthetic with wood and leather panels, complemented by soft furnishings in British wool and tweed. Adding to the local charm, each floor is named after famous former residents of the area.
Embracing London’s Vibrant Culture
What sets The Other House South Kensington apart is its enchanting maximalist interiors and deep connection to the heart of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. From South Kensington’s rich cultural experiences to Covent Garden’s historic charm, each property reflects the distinctive character of its surroundings, with sustainability at the core of every development.
Residents can enjoy local experiences showcasing the best of the neighbourhood’s culture, cuisine, and entertainment. Whether it’s discovering hidden gems, enjoying a DJ night at the Owl & Monkey, savouring a Sunday Jazz Brunch at The Other Kitchen, or mingling with locals in the private club, residents instantly become part of the vibrant community.
Dining at The Other House, South Kensington
The dining options are available for both residents and the public. The daytime cafe, The Other Kitchen, serves a variety of breakfast dishes, including green smoothies, berry compote, and salmon royale. In the evening, the vibrant Owl & Monkey cocktail bar comes alive with music, fantastic cocktails, and tasty small plates such as Padron peppers with creamy whipped feta, carrot and coriander arancini, and a short-rib beef sandwich topped with horseradish.
With flexible terms, inclusive bills, and pet-friendly accommodation, The Other House South Kensington is ideal for those seeking a pied-a-terre in central London. The hotel-style check-in and check-out policy offers ultimate flexibility for stays ranging from a night to a year or more.
Frequent visitors to London will appreciate its unique offering, which allows residents to come and go at their convenience. Mid to long-term residency options cater to individual needs, whether you’re in town weekly, monthly, or acclimating to London life.
Additionally, residents can securely store their belongings while away and have them returned to their Club Flat upon their return. This flexible approach embodies their commitment to providing a distinctive living experience for both short and long-term stays.
