AND IT ’ S AS FABULOUS AS IT SOUNDS ... BY SAMANTHA READY
Located just two minutes from Gloucester Road tube in the heart of Kensington , the original Other House is a unique alternative to the normal high end hotel offering in the Capital . Modelled on a mix between long stay ‘ Club Flats ’, which allow you to stay your way for as long you need and club bedrooms , perfect for shorter visits , and combined with the allure of a private members club , The Other House is a residents ’ club that you ’ ll never want to leave .
A secluded , stylish and sustainable approach underpins this unique London bolthole . Check in is via ipad , a paperless approach that showcases an eco-approach that runs from furniture to food to footprint . Contact with the discreet yet friendly staff team is via a dedicated WhatsApp number , that allows you to contact the concierge team 24 / 7 for everything from settling your bill to getting a pint of milk to your room . And access to your Club Flat is via a personal mobile key which allows you to do everything from summoning the lift to reserving your favourite spot in the bar and even checking if the fitness centre is quiet .
Aesthetically it is beautiful .
Spaces , which have been created by award-winning designers , boast rich colour palettes layered with velvets , British tweed and bold botanical prints . Bedrooms offer kitchenettes , lounge / work spaces and sumptuous king size beds alongside pocket door hidden ensuites with rainforest showers . Common areas are an eclectic collection of bold sculpture , plush fabric and intricate private lounge spaces tucked into basement member ’ s club hideaways .
Dining is in the form of the street-side The Other Kitchen which , naturally , is the place to gather for sunlight-flooded avocado and poached eggs on sourdough brunches with a cup of freshly brewed coffee . But for overnighters , or those wishing to visit for a vibey evening , the Owl & Monkey is the place to be .
Part bar , part moodily-lit discreet lounge , the tunes from curated playlists or later in the evening live DJs , pulsate throughout the banquette seats and low chairs set predominantly for two , from which you ’ ll be hard pressed to decline one of the signature cocktails , expertly mixed under the watchful gaze of bar manager Flavio Russo , and the moreishly tempting small plate dishes .
Served from 6pm till late , tempting Eastern Mediterranean and North African flavours permitate the menu to offer delights such as lamb and cumin kebabs with apricot harissa and parsley salad ;
whipped feta and padron peppers ; slow-cooked short rib of beef sliders with horseradish and crispy shallot rings and slabs of The Other House sausage rolls .
Wanting to relax in quieter , kookier style ? Simply retire to the hidden basement lounges , past the beautiful subterranean pool , to find hidden snugs for watching giant TVs or tiny curtain draped nooks , where food and drinks can be ordered direct to your private room via the app .
Whether wishing to immerse yourself in private members style or shy away from the Capital ' s watchful gaze , The Other House has you covered . In exquisite style and sophistication .
