Checking Out: The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum

Holiday Inn Kensington Forum does the business

With 900+ bedrooms I thought I would be entering a bedroom factory – corporate hell that churns businessmen and conference delegates in and out without a by-your-leave.

Well stop press, you couldn’t be further away from the mark. The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is doing the business and very well it is doing it indeed.

The tallest hotel in Europe with high corporate occupancy Sunday to Wednesday the hotel maximises pick up again for the Friday – Sunday leisure business.

Successfully managing air crews with international conference and events business, the team at Holiday Inn Kensington Forum glides between business mixes like ducks navigates the Serpentine.

Big news for the hotel is the launch of the new business centre, this purpose built haven for entrepreneurs and business guests was a bit like walking into the first class lounge for Concord. A dedicated check-in desk away from the crowds, personal one on one service, complimentary drinks and snacks and a selection of newspapers and magazines provide a relaxing and inspiring place to catch up on work and do business.

The Business Centre with its dedicated team and massive investment can’t fail, and sets the Holiday Inn Kensington Forum apart from the competition.

I thought breakfast would be a bun fight with over 900 rooms, however when entered reception at 8.00am I was instantly surprised that the a la carte dining room had lots of clean tables available and staff on hand to serve guests.

As a flock of Japanese students made their way through reception to a convoy of coaches I was impressed with the calm and control displayed by all the staff. Everything in a days work, this hotel can’t fail to impress.

The Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is perfectly located close to the main conference and exhibition centres of Earls Court and Olympia whilst being close enough to the bright lights of Covent Garden and the West End. For those who do not want to venture too far away there is a fantastic selection of local restaurants on Kensington High Street.

Located in the fashionable Kensington area of London, Holiday Inn Kensington Forum Hotel is an ideal base for touring the landmarks, attractions and buzzing nightlife of London.

The Hotel is minutes away from Harrods department store, Kensington Palace &, Gardens and the wonderful boutiques of South Kensington High Street.

Down the road is the Royal Albert Hall, the Victoria &, Albert Museum and the Earls Court and Olympia exhibition venues.

All in all, the Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is a great hotel that provides a perfect base for business pleasure.
