Nestled in London's prestigious Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, The Chelsea Townhouse has created spacious rooms and suites across three neighboring redbrick Victorian properties. They are part of an identical enclave of buildings surrounding Cadogan Gardens, one of a small number of private parks in the capital normally only accessible by residents with a key. However, in a highly exclusive arrangement, the hotel’s Drawing Room and select suites offer guests direct access to the leafy gardens. Meticulously restored, the hotel seamlessly blends British charm with contemporary elegance. With marble fireplaces, gilded mirrors, old engravings, plush carpet, and eclectic juxtapositions–an Art Nouveau pedestal table paired with an Empire dressing table, say–the decor evokes a cozy and quirky British style, making the townhouse feel like a particularly high-end guest house. Under its high ceilings, large windows offer abundant natural light and views over the trees in the square. Chelsea's charms are not far beyond, with iconic shopping destinations including Sloane Street and The King’s Road just footsteps away, and a host of cultural attractions including the Saatchi Gallery, Buckingham Palace and the Natural History Museum close by. The service is as discreet as it is attentive, and with its blend of timeless charm, modern luxury, and access to London's finest attractions, The Chelsea Townhouse offers an unparalleled experience in the heart of the city.

The Garden Room at the Chelsea Townhouse

Waking up in a bright, spacious room overlooking the sea, with the sound of waves lapping gently against the shore below, is an invitation to enjoy a morning swim, take a boat trip, join a sailing lesson on the dinghy or visit one of Cornwall’s internationally renowned gardens. Owners Karen and David Richards have transformed this historic building in the enchanting port of St Mawes, instilling it with the soul of a wonderful holiday home. On the waterfront terrace, guests can savour the Cornish sunshine and the freshest fish caught by local dayboat fishermen. Refined, imaginative and sustainable cuisine with genuine hospitality in a relaxed setting — no wonder the staff ’s joie de vivre is so contagious!

The Reef Knot Restaurant

Hotel and restaurant on the seafront.

Set on a 58-acre estate, The Torridon was once the hunting lodge of Earl William KingNoel. This Victorian mansion’s tall sash windows open out onto the deep blue of Loch Torridon and the breathtaking beauty of the Highlands, inviting you to explore the wonders of the surrounding nature. Inside, from the entrance hall to the Eilean Chasgaig Room–a dining room dedicated to Queen Victoria–you’ll feel an atmosphere of serenity and rustic elegance. This impression is enhanced by the patina of the wood-paneled library and the Whisky Bar, which boasts an extraordinary collection of single malts. The hotel’s few rooms and suites, spread across the main house and its former stables, combine traditional decor with touches of originality. At Restaurant 1887, Chef Danny Young serves creative Scottish cuisine that celebrates the richness of local produce and vegetables grown in the kitchen garden, just behind the house.
