London’s hotel scene has a bold new addition rewriting the rules of how we stay, live, and connect in the capital.
The Other House South Kensington introduces a trailblazing concept known as the “Residents Club.” Blending the comfort of apartment-style living with the service of a luxury hotel and the exclusivity of a private members club, The Other House offers a fluid approach to modern city life. The Other House’s “Residents Club” model reimagines what it means to feel at home while travelling. Each location combines four distinct elements: apartment-style accommodation, high-end hotel services, an exclusive private club known simply as The Club at The Other House and a vibrant local hub – that hub being the cultural opulence of South Kensington.
Nestled in a side street in the royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, South Ken showcases the very best of London’s great range. You have a world famous museum district, with the Victoria and Albert, The Natural History and the Science Museum all within walking distance. These institutions provide many thousands of hours of cultural enrichment and from your new digs round the corner, you can easily spend days exploring them. Then you have Hyde Park, which makes for a blissfully bucolic bicycle circuit and the perfect green escape.
Flexibility is the cornerstone of The Other House experience. The concept bridges the gap between short-term hotel stays and long-term renting, creating a stylish, serviced environment ideal for both business and leisure. Guests, or “residents” as they’re called, can stay for a night, a month, or even a year, enjoying the familiarity of home paired with the sophistication of a boutique hotel.
Each “Club Flat” is a self-contained retreat featuring bold, characterful interiors and thoughtful design.
Open-plan layouts include a comfortable sitting area, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a sleek shower room. It’s a living space tailored to the needs of contemporary travellers who crave both independence and indulgence.
The all-day brunch spot, The Other Kitchen, has quickly become a local favourite, for temporary residents and South Kensington locals alike. As evening falls, the energy shifts upstairs to Owl & Monkey, the property’s atmospheric cocktail bar, where expert mixology and live DJs curate an ever-changing calendar of city-best events.
The Club at The Other House is a space designed for work, relaxation, and play. Two beautifully designed lounges provide an intimate environment for meetings or downtime, while the wellbeing area features a 24/7 gym, vitality pool, and concierge services provided by Mama Wellbeing. The partnership also introduces a new collection of retreats, ranging from half-day Reset Sessions to fully immersive overnight stays. Each retreat weaves together treatments, classes and restorative practices within the calm surroundings of The Other Space. Options include couples’ retreats with joint coaching and energy therapies, pregnancy-focused experiences with tailored massage and sound healing, or revitalising stays combining lymphatic drainage, yoga and reiki.
Beyond its physical spaces, The Other House curates experiences that celebrate local life. Guests can join Sunday Jazz Brunches in The Other Kitchen, enjoy DJ nights at Owl & Monkey, or entrench themselves in the cool cosiness of the private club lounges. Their “Stay as You Choose” philosophy caters to modern lifestyles that resist rigid definitions. You aren’t so much a guest here as a temporary resident and that seemingly minor difference has a huge effect on the sense of home that permeates the place.
Rates at The Other House South Kensington start from £250 per night for a Club Flat. Aiming to become ‘your other house for as long as you’re in town’, stays at this Residents Club can range from one night to a year or more; residencies of any length include access to its exclusive private club.
