11 Cadogan Gardens – Chelsea, SW3

Proudly individual and boutique, 11 Cadogan Gardens is the only Relais & Châteaux hotel in London. Expect five-star luxury, quirky design, and a playful vibe. Spread across four interconnected redbrick Victorian townhouses, it has 56 guest rooms, including 22 suites that are as memorable as they are luxurious (one is especially flamboyant and a little risqué). All have high ceilings and a wealth of natural light that floods through the bay windows. The hotel has a drawing room, the Chelsea Bar, and the popular Hans’ Bar & Grill, which has an all-day seasonal menu rooted in British produce – ideal locations for afternoon teas, late night cocktails, family breakfasts and everything in between. Looking for a little more privacy or a longer stay? Located a stone’s throw from the hotel, across the leafy garden square, are The Apartments by 11 Cadogan Gardens. Each floor features a one, two or three-bedroom residence, offering a true home from home in the heart of London. Summer 2023 will see the opening of the adjoining Chelsea Townhouse, a 35-bedroom addition that has been the subject of a sensitive restoration.
