It doesn’t get much more picture-book English, much more posh turn-of-the-century London, than this: the Cadogan Hotel, on Sloane Square in Knightsbridge, just around the corner from Harrod’s, down the road from Harvey Nicks, and a (very muscular) stone’s throw from Hyde Park. This is where Oscar Wilde was arrested for indecency, and though it was the beginning of a bit of a bad patch for him, it doesn’t have to be for you — you can still book his old room, number 118, and see how things turn out.
These days it’s owned by the Spain-based Franklyn group, but under their tenure it certainly hasn’t gone Continental. There’ve been some pretty extensive renovations, and rather an influx of Louis-the-something armchairs, but the effect is more a thorough spit-and-polish than a complete re-imagining.
Rooms hang on to their Edwardian charm in varying degrees, but all have been modernized, outfitted with all today’s luxury must-haves, from LCD televisions to top-shelf bathroom amenities. Downstairs there’s Langtry’s, the fine-dining restaurant, named for a former Cadogan resident and mistress to Edward VII, as well as a splendid afternoon tea in the old drawing room.
How to get there:
The Cadogan Hotel is a 7-minute walk from both the Knightsbridge and Sloane Square tube stations. If you’re arriving from Heathrow Airport, the most convenient transfer option to central London is the Heathrow Express train, which leaves Heathrow Airport every 15 minutes and takes 15 minutes to arrive at Paddington Station. One-way fares are available from £18 and round-trip fares from £32. By black cab, the Cadogan is approximately a 45-minute ride from Heathrow Airport (depending on traffic) and can cost upwards of £50.
