At a two minutes walk from High Street Kensington tube station, Kensington Close Hotel and Spa is located close to the shopping district and the beautiful gardens and parks of the West End, making it an ideal choice for both business and leisure travellers. Its restaurant, Blue Smoke Steakhouse has an American theme with blue walls, coloured lighting and black and white prints of legendary actors. Enjoy an excellent meal whilst the tones of Frank Sinatra and other Rat Pack members ease you into the evening.

Gabor Merczi - who has formerly worked at some of the best and most exclusive restaurants world wide - heads the brigade of chefs at Blue Smoke. Apart from the good, old fashioned steak such as certified prime beef filet mignon and blackened flat iron steak, there are also the all time favourites that include pan seared North Atlantic black pearl scallops, pan roasted Maryland crab cake and grilled mahi mahi for those who prefer seafood over steaks.

You could, perhaps, close with a Florida key lime pie or the rhubarb crème brûlée.
