This exclusive V&A Experience Package places you at the heart of one of the capital’s most exciting cultural moments: Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art. Just moments from the museum, The Kensington offers the perfect base for a stylish city break, pairing five-star comfort with world-class creativity.

During your stay, you’ll step into the surreal world of Elsa Schiaparelli with two tickets to the landmark exhibition, which showcases over 200 objects and celebrates her collaborations with legendary artists including Salvador Dalí.

Back at the hotel, the experience continues with Fashion Becomes Tea, an imaginative afternoon tea served in the elegant Drawing Room. Inspired by the exhibition’s bold aesthetic, this is no ordinary tea: expect sculptural pastries, playful illusion and couture-level craftsmanship in every bite. Highlights include Le Choux Shoe, a caramel choux bun filled with apricot gel and caramel chocolate, nodding to the Maison’s iconic upside-down shoe hat, conceived in collaboration with Salvador Dalí, and on display in the exhibition.

After a night in one of the hotel’s beautiful rooms, wake to a full English breakfast before stepping back out into Kensington – perfectly positioned to explore one of London’s most culturally rich neighbourhoods.

Competition closes on 1 May 2026.
