Belmond has re-opened the Cadogan Hotel in the wake of their acquisition by fashion powerhouse LVMH, just an hour's drive from their otherworldly design and food haven in the countryside.
In London, the birthplace of proper hospitality, etiquette, and service, it's challenging to walk a few blocks—be it in Mayfair, Knightsbridge, or Chelsea—without coming across an iconic hotel, teeming with perfectly-trained staff and appointed with the best of the best. This city is packed to the brim with fine places to lay one's head, and it can be daunting for a hotel opening to make a splash.
But what about the new opening of an old hotel? One rich in history, unique in design, and determined to embrace true, authentic English culture rather than infusing a French or Italian flair into the experience. After a visit to the, it appears that what's old is new again. Belmond re-opened the Cadogan Hotel last December, following a three-year, $48-million restoration.
The 54-room property, comprised of five townhouses dating back to 1887, oozes style—from its Chelsea location to the design of the spaces and suites—but it's the hotel's rich history of hosting fashionistas, socialites, aristocrats, tastemakers, artists, and the like that should excite any posh traveler.
Situated at 75 Sloane Street, the Cadogan has played host to many fashion parties in the past, welcoming designers, supermodels, and London's It-crowd through its doors. The hotel's most notable guest was none other than Oscar Wilde, who called what is now Suite 118 his London pied-a-terre. Wilde was a dear friend of the property's late owner, Lillie Langtry, an actress, socialite, and one of Britain's first models.
The fashion-forward touches seem apropos given the new ownership of Belmond under LVMH. Along with a laundry list of prestige spirits brands, LVMH's fashion roster boasts names like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior Couture, Celine, Loewe, Kenzo, Givenchy, Thomas Pink, Fendi, Emilio Pucci, Marc Jacobs, Berluti, Nicholas Kirkwood, Loro Piana, RIMOWA and Jean Patou.
