This iconic hotel situated in the heart of Chelsea, London’s most prestigious area, offers guests an exclusive private address in the heart of London. The unique urban hideaway has a graceful facade that masks a dramatic and alluring interior; glossy dark wood panelling envelops guests as they enter the reception and soft lighting casts romantic shadows throughout.
The hallways are framed with luxurious, heavy drapes while the walls display tasteful artwork. Confidence and glamour emanate from every detail, wrapping guests in an environment of total sophistication. The fashionable hotel is set within minutes of one of the most elite shopping districts in the world, showcasing Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Chanel, and many more famous names.
The boutique hotel, which is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World™, features 54 bespoke guest rooms and 4 one-bedroom suites that all exude an individual blend of elegance and sophistication. A gorgeous variety of ornate headboards, dramatic four-poster beds, decorative baroque chaise lounges, spectacular Murano glass chandeliers, and delicate fabrics await guests in every room.
Each room is also fully equipped with the latest technology and conveniences, such as plasma screen TVs and exquisite bed linen. Stunning marble en-suite bathrooms, with timeless stand-alone tubs and Ormonde Jayne toiletries, continue the theme of splendour.
All rooms have been designed to provide guests with ultimate comfort, and staff are happy to fulfil any request from guests to ensure their stay is perfect. The chic one bedroom suites have private access and individual garages. Rates start from £240 per night for a Superior Room and £320 per night for a Suite, all inclusive of VAT
The light and airy restaurant features black and white photography of A-list celebrities on every wall. Offering modern British cuisine within its five interconnecting spaces, the 70 cover destination restaurant is an elegant and sophisticated place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Private dining is available for groups of up to 30, with a beautiful outside terrace seating 12 people.
On the ground floor, the Mirror Room is a celebration of light with mirrors covering the roof and walls and a monochromatic chequered floor. The bar, which is open daily from 11am until 11pm, serves a full range of classic and innovative cocktails, fine wines and beers, plus a menu of light dishes.
There are a number of public areas within No.11 Cadogan Gardens, dedicated to providing guests with a place to unwind. One of these is the Library featuring magnificent mahogany bookshelves with an array of classic leather bound books and lush brocade upholstered armchairs and sofas. A modern flat-screen TV is cleverly concealed in an antique golden picture frame for guests who prefer this mode of entertainment, and a roaring log fire completes the room’s cosy charm.
There is also a Drawing Room with elegant cream sofas, a warming log fire and other pretty accessories. The designer hotel caters for meetings and events for six to 60 people in a classic and refined setting. There is a state-of-the-art gym on the lower-ground floor, with a full range of fitness equipment and personal trainers for one-to-one tuition.
No.11 Cadogan Gardens has a fascinating Victorian heritage having been built in the late 19th Century as a ‘home-from-home’ for aristocrats, politicians and celebrities. The hotel has maintained its esteemed reputation for over a century by combining its distinctly eclectic style and sophisticated finish with the latest modern facilities.
