PB hotel design editorial

Oscar Wilde was arrested here in 1895, in a room on the first floor of what was then a private members' club on Sloane Street — a fact that clings to the building with the kind of weight no interior designer can manufacture. The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel, is set within a late-Victorian terrace of warm red brick and Portland stone dressings, its curved bay windows and mansard dormers characteristic of the Queen Anne Revival style that defined Chelsea's domestic architecture in the 1880s. The property spans two former townhouses, running to 54 rooms across six floors, and underwent a significant renovation completed in 2019 under interior designer Guy Oliver of Oliver Laws. Oliver's approach throughout keeps the building's Edwardian social character close to the surface. Grasscloth-lined walls in the guestrooms carry white-painted panel mouldings in arched and rectangular frames, parquet floors laid in herringbone, and tufted headboards in linen and velvet — a palette that moves between blush and amber depending on the room. The bar counter arrives in veined grey marble with brass rail detailing, gold-arched bottle niches set against dark timber joinery, and a coffered plaster ceiling hung with globe pendants that have the character of a 1930s private club. The tea salon overhead centres on an elaborate rococo plaster medallion from which a tiered Murano glass chandelier descends, the seating arranged in curved leather banquettes and high-back wing chairs — Chelsea drawing room as much as hotel dining room.

The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel Reviews

324 reviews

"My wife Chloé and I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Cadogan, and it was truly one of those rare hotel experiences that stays with you long after you’ve checked out. What makes this place so special is not only the beauty of the property and its perfect location in Chelsea, but above all the people. Every member of the team made us feel genuinely warmly welcome. The service was attentive without ever feeling formal or forced, and there was a warmth throughout the hotel that is increasingly difficult to find. A special thank you to Russell Pratt. It is immediately apparent that he leads by example and that the culture of the hotel starts with him. We were fortunate enough to meet him during our stay, and his kindness, professionalism and genuine care for guests perfectly reflect the spirit of The Cadogan. Luxury hotels can offer beautiful rooms, fine dining and elegant surroundings. What distinguishes the truly great ones is how they make you feel. My wife and I felt at home from the moment we arrived. Thank you to Russell and the entire team for making our stay such a memorable one. We are already looking forward to returning !!"

"We just returned from 8 nights at this fabulous hotel. This is a wonderful Belmond property with a low key but classy vibe in a great neighborhood. You have 2 tube stops nearby along with Pavillion Road shops and restaurants plus the Sloan Square and Kings Road businesses. Harrods is also a quick walk. Definitely don’t skip a visit to the private garden across the street. We stayed in a deluxe junior suite which had a beautiful bathroom. Reviews have mentioned that regular rooms may have tight space. The service is incredible and you feel both professionalism and warmth from the staff. We had a delicious dinner at Willetts. It’s an expensive stay but so are all the top hotels in London. I can’t wait to return to The Cadogan on my next London trip."

"My first stay at The Cadogan was exceptional. It exceeded all expectations except that rooms were significantly smaller than expected or than photos on website suggested"
