Our Story

The Houses Numbers 22, 24 and 26 Cadogan Gardens were built in the 1880s as private family houses, part of the Cadogan family's development of this corner of Chelsea. Red brick, Dutch gables, tall sash windows and a garden square in the middle for the residents who lived around it. The square is still private and still owned by the Cadogan Estate, which is why guests here can walk into it. The Restoration Bringing three separate houses together as a single hotel meant working with the buildings’ existing character rather than imposing upon it. Original staircases, fireplaces and plasterwork were carefully preserved and restored, while everything behind the walls was renewed. Floors do not always align from one house to the next, corridors turn as the architecture demands, and no two rooms are alike. These idiosyncrasies are the natural consequence of the buildings’ history and, we believe, what makes staying here so distinctive. Opening The Chelsea Townhouse opened in September 2023 with 25 rooms and 11 suites, The Garden Room on the ground floor, and three spaces for private events. Relais & Châteaux The hotel is a member of Relais & Châteaux, the association of independently minded hotels and restaurants, and one of only two in London along with our neighbour 11 Cadogan Gardens.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​​‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‌​​‍‌‌​‍​‍‌‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍​​‍‍‌‍​‌‌​​‌​​​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍​‌​​​‌‍​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‍​‌​​​‍‌​‌‍​​​‌​‌‍​‍​‍‌​‌​‌‍​‌​‌‍​​​​‍‌‌‍​‍​​‌​‌​‌‍​‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‌​‌​‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​​‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍​‌​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌​​‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​​‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌​​‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌​​‍​​‍​​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌‍​​‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‌​​‍‌‌​‍​‍‌‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍​​‍‍‌‍​‌‌​​‌​​​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍​‌​​​‌‍​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‍​‌​​​‍‌​‌‍​​​‌​‌‍​‍​‍‌​‌​‌‍​‌​‌‍​​​​‍‌‌‍​‍​​‌​‌​‌‍​‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‌​‌​‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​​‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌​​‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌​​‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌​​‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌​​‍​​‍​​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​‌​​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍‌‌
