Belmond Cadogan Hotel
Originally constructed in 1887, the recently reopened Belmond Cadogan
combines the glitz of Knightsbridge with the raffish charm of illustrious
past residents such as Oscar Wilde, who was famously arrested in his
pied a terre here. Wilde’s spirit lives on, both in the hotel’s unofficial
mascot (an alabaster-white Swarovski crystal adorned stuffed peacock
cheekily named Oscar), as well as the illuminating book selection in each
of the rooms, which were thoughtfully curated by nearby John Sandoe
books. Sumptuously decorated rooms in wood, velvet and marble, two
private gardens (accessed by key) and the highly-buzzed about Adam
Handling Chelsea restaurant all make a winning combination Wilde
would no doubt have heartily approved of.Gentle Monster
