"Guests at Belmond Cadogan Hotel will feel as though they have their own exclusive residence in London," says Albert Herrera, Virtuoso's senior vice president of Global Product Partnerships. "All the excitement of this world-class city will be right outside their doorstep, while travelers are tucked inside this intimate and historic property, where understated elegance is coupled with personalized service. This exquisite new hotel will provide a sophisticated retreat for those wishing to relax and recharge."

Belmond Cadogan Hotel will be a 'home away from home' on prestigious Sloane Street, renowned as a luxury shopping enclave. Positioned between chic Chelsea and glamorous Knightsbridge, it offers the best of two of London's most fashionable and artistic neighborhoods. The $48 million project will restore the unique heritage of the magnificent Queen Anne Revival property, dating from 1887, while fully renovating the property in a contemporary style as one of London's most exclusive retreats. Rich details will celebrate and preserve the hotel's heritage, while the design offers a front-row seat to modern London society.

Belmond Cadogan Hotel has long played an integral role in the cultural history of the Kensington and Chelsea area, and it will draw inspiration from the neighborhood's character, offering an elegant meeting place for both guests and the local community. The hotel's legendary connections include pioneering explorer and scientist Sir Hans Sloane, flamboyant writer Oscar Wilde, and actress Lillie Langtry.

The hotel will have 54 rooms, two-thirds of which are suites, some featuring original fireplaces. Each guest will have access to a discreet entrance from 21 Pont Street, so the hotel may be used as a private residence; guests are offered a key so they can come and go quietly. Belmond Cadogan Hotel faces a private garden that guests can visit as an escape in the heart of Chelsea, where they can enjoy a picnic or play tennis. The property also offers a 24-hour fitness suite, spa suite with a range of treatments, and library. Young guests will enjoy dedicated menus, in-room amenities such as bathrobes and games, and family-friendly suggestions from the concierge.

Executive Chef Adam Handling will showcase contemporary British cuisine honoring tradition and local provenance, all with zero waste. Handling has been recognized as a rising culinary star for his exceptional cuisine that marries daring flavors with out-of-the ordinary techniques, creating harmonious dishes. The main restaurant will feature an open kitchen providing a window onto the chef's theatre. The Bar and Terrace, accessed directly from Pont Street, is set to become a local favorite, featuring drinks and lighter bites. The Tea Lounge will offer Handling's specially crafted tea service.

Belmond Cadogan Hotel is the brand's first and only hotel in London, complemented by the brand's existing UK portfolio including the Belmond British Pullman vintage day train based out of London Victoria Station, Belmond Royal Scotsman sleeper train and Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Oxfordshire. Guests will be able to enjoy a seamless Belmond experience around the British Isles, a town-and-country package, or a journey on the legendary Venice Simplon Orient Express.
