Hotels for Six60

A midweek arena band bringing their brand of anthemic rock to a seated hall rather than the stadiums they're used to back home. Expect a crowd heavy with New Zealanders and Australians living in or visiting the UK, many treating the night as a reunion as much as a gig.

An ornate Victorian rotunda in South Kensington, the Royal Albert Hall is one of the world's most famous concert halls, celebrated above all for the summer Proms. It sits amid the great museums, Kensington Gardens and the elegant streets of Knightsbridge, making the setting as memorable as the show.

South Kensington and High Street Kensington tube stations are a short walk, with excellent central links. Staying in the neighbourhood lets you pair a performance with the galleries and a leisurely evening stroll home.
