About Kensington Hotel
The Kensington Hotel, known to locals as The Kensi, sits on Regent Street in Kensington in Adelaide's eastern suburbs. It is family owned and South Australian, and it runs as three venues under one roof: a restaurant, a wine bar with booths and a casual corner bar for sport. Functions have three private rooms of their own. The Regent Room seats 60 for dinner or holding 80 for a cocktail party, and it can also be set theatre style for 50 or as a boardroom for 24. The Kings Room is a relaxed private space for up to 45 standing, with easy access to the Corner Bar. It is a natural fit for casual birthday drinks and cocktail parties of any size up to that number. The Watson Room is the smallest, a private boardroom-style room for 10. It is used for intimate dinners, business meals and small birthday gatherings. Catering can be shared platters, plated dining or a full canapé service, chosen to suit the event. The hotel names birthdays, engagements, Christmas parties, wine appreciation groups, boardroom lunches and conferences among the functions it hosts. The venue keeps long trading hours, from early morning to midnight Monday to Saturday and until 10pm on Sundays.
