Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington
The Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington is a hotel in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, set on a side street just off Kensington High Street. The building houses several hundred rooms along with meeting spaces and a restaurant.
The hotel opened in the 1970s and has since been part of several international hotel groups over the decades. It has remained in the same Kensington location throughout, welcoming travelers from around the world.
Kensington is home to some of London's most visited museums, all within walking distance of the hotel. Stepping outside, visitors quickly notice the mix of local residents going about their day and tourists heading toward the nearby cultural sites.
The nearest tube station is High Street Kensington, a short walk from the hotel entrance. From there, central London and the surrounding museums are easy to reach without needing a car.
The name Tara refers to the Hill of Tara in Ireland, a reference tied to the Irish roots of the group that originally developed this property. That name has stayed with the hotel even as ownership changed over the years.
