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.

"We were lucky to be upgraded to a suite which was lovely! Great location and a really pleasant hotel. service was exceptional throughout, professional and slick without being stuffy, the perfect balance IMHO. Breakfast was a la carte and really good. A stroll around the private gardens was fun in the flurry of snow that we had, warmed up on our return with hot chocolate in the lounge/bar."

"Lovely service and a very professional team. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made my stay extremely comfortable. The hotel is a bit expensive, but the level of hospitality and care made it a very enjoyable experience."

"If you want to be at a "see and be seen" spot with supercars loudly entering the valet and guests sporting flashy logos galore, then this is not your choice. If you want quiet luxury in a carefully updated historic building with personal attention by each staff member, then book the Cadogan. My family and I had two wonderful stays here bookending a safari in Kenya. The hotel was kind enough to store our non-safari luggage in between. Upon our return, we were welcomed as if they had been waiting on a family member to return. The property is beautiful and the interior has been tastefully updated. The Cadogan is a boutique-size property, but with all the amenities and service that one would expect from a larger five-star hotel. The rooms have all modern conveniences and housekeeping was excellent. We were in two adjoining Junior Suites and were pleased by the roominess, especially of the bathrooms. Each staff member was professional, kind and helpful. Nearly all of them greeted us by name. The concierge team were especially helpful in arranging airport transfers and a few guided tours. The location on the border of Chelsea/Belgravia/Knightsbridge was perfect for us. It's a quiet, neighborhood feel in the immediate surroundings, but just a short walk to excellent shopping and restaurants. Book the Cadogan with confidence!"

"We enjoy the small things which is why we always stay at the best boutique hotels. The Belmond Cadogan in Chelsea is at the top of our worldwide list. The concierge team is world class, hard working, welcoming, always make you feel special and unique. They'll do pretty much anything to improve your stay. The restaurant serves the best breakfast, The room is always clean. The bed and pillows are the best. The bar and bartenders at the end of a long day are welcoming and service oriented. It's in the best part of London. Close to tourist locations but mostly it's in the best neighbourhood in London."
