UK: Ember Locke, rebranded from the former NH Kensington in London, has opened as the brand’s sixth property in the capital.
Serviced apartment developer and operator edyn acquired the NH Kensington in September 2022. The repositioning has been led by design studios Atelier Ochre and House of Dré.
Spread over eight floors, Ember Locke offers 121 rooms ranging from studios to duplex one-bedroom apartments. Amenities include a coffee shop, bar, restaurant, coworking space, meeting rooms, a stage for music performances, and a garden.
Eric Jafari, chief development officer and creative director at Locke, said: “We’re very excited to be opening our first property in west London, in an ideal neighbourhood for Locke.
“This part of west London has long captured the attention of leisure and business travellers alike – you have some of the city’s best museums and shopping locations on your doorstep and in the last few years the area has had a real spotlight on it, with some of the best restaurants in London opening here. With the buzzing neighbourhood of Notting Hill close by and tranquil Hyde Park moments away, we are excited for Ember Locke to open its doors for guests.”
The aparthotel joins Kingsland Locke, Buckle Street Studios by Locke, Locke at Broken Wharf, Leman Locke, and Bermonds Locke in London.
