This season, The Kensington continues its longstanding partnership with the V&A South Kensington with the launch of a new curated stay, created to coincide with the museum’s major upcoming exhibition Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art. Opening in spring 2026, the exhibition explores the radical vision of Elsa Schiaparelli and her enduring influence on modern fashion.
Designed for guests with a passion for fashion and culture, The V&A Experience: Schiaparelli pairs an overnight stay at The Kensington with thoughtful in-room touches, priority exhibition access and breakfast - with full package details to be announced shortly. Located just a short walk from the museum, the hotel provides a refined base from which to explore one of the V&A’s most anticipated fashion showcases in recent years.
The hotel continues to celebrate Marie Antoinette through its Marie Antoinette Style experience, available until 22 March, combining an overnight stay with exhibition tickets to Marie Antoinette Style at the V&A, curated in-room touches inspired by the Queen’s world, and the Let Us Eat Cake afternoon tea served in the Drawing Room, featuring pâtisserie and savouries influenced by 18th-century Versailles, accompanied by Champagne or a bespoke cocktail.
The Kensington’s V&A Experience Package can be booked now for stays. Rates start from £525 p/n incl. VAT. Please email hello@blueskyfriday.com for further information.
