A Stylish Day Out From The Bentley Hotel, South Kensington
Few British summer traditions can rival Wimbledon. Whether you’re a lifelong tennis fan or simply love an excuse to dress up and enjoy a great day out, there’s something special about spending a day at the Championships.
It’s not just about the tennis. Wimbledon has become synonymous with summer style, from smart linen suits and floral dresses to strawberries and cream enjoyed on perfectly manicured grounds. It’s one of those rare events where sport and luxury come together effortlessly.
If you’re planning a Wimbledon visit, where you stay can make a big difference to your experience. While accommodation around the tournament grounds can be busy and difficult to secure, South Kensington offers a much calmer alternative. The Bentley Hotelmirrors the luxury element of the championship, allowing you to enjoy your full break in style.
Start the Day the Right Way
One of the biggest advantages of staying at The Bentley Hotel is that your Wimbledon day doesn’t have to begin with a rush.
Instead of hurrying out the door, you can enjoy a relaxed breakfast in beautiful surroundings before setting off. Top tip: Book your stay through our website exclusive offer to enjoy this for free!
Getting to Wimbledon is refreshingly straightforward too. South Kensington is only a few stops away from Southfields and Wimbledon on the tube via the District Line. Allowing you to travel directly to the tournament simply and easily.
Wimbledon is About More Than Just Tennis
Even if you’re not following every serve and volley, Wimbledon is a fantastic day out.
There’s a real sense of occasion from the moment you arrive. People gather on the famous Hill to watch matches on the big screen, friends share picnic lunches between games, and the grounds are filled with that unmistakable buzz that only major sporting events seem to create.
Of course, the fashion is part of the fun too. Wimbledon has long been one of the most stylish events of the British summer season, so don’t be afraid to embrace the occasion and dress up a little.
Return to Luxury
After a full day on your feet, returning to The Bentley Hotel feels like a reward in itself.
If relaxation is high on your priority list, consider booking one of our summer spa experiences at Le Kalon Spa. A little time spent unwinding in peaceful surroundings the next morning can be exactly what’s needed after a busy day at the Championships.
And if you’re keen to keep the British theme going, why not book a Wimbledon Afternoon Tea for the following day? It’s a wonderfully civilised way to round off a Wimbledon-inspired London break.
How to Get Tickets for Wimbledon 2026
One of the things that makes Wimbledon so unique is that attending isn’t completely dependent on the ballot. In fact, Wimbledon remains one of the few major sporting events where tickets can still be purchased on the day. Around 500 show court tickets are released daily, giving visitors the chance to experience the action on some of the tournament’s most famous courts.
Even if those tickets aren’t available, there are hundreds of Grounds Passes on sale each day for just £33. These offer access to the outside courts, including No.3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18, along with access to The Hill, where crowds gather to watch Centre Court and No.1 Court matches on the giant screen. See our blog from 2024 for more information on how to get Wimbledon tickets.
