On a side road in Kensington, the Ashburn Hotel is a fine 19th century townhouse with a characteristic white stucco façade. Though small, the lobby is brightly appointed in white marble, with plentiful seating in the drawing room to the right. Housing 38 guestrooms, the hotel has had a complete makeover and the new owners have turned it into a luxury boutique property. The rooms feature characteristic dark wood furniture combined with new technology, comfortable beds, modern pieces and complimentary water. The drawing room serves light meals all day and drinks from the bar are available 24 hours a day for residents. There is also a peaceful, airy breakfast room, as well as complimentary wireless Internet access and air-conditioning throughout.
