11 Cadogan Gardens
$$$. Chelsea.
Of all London's boutique inns, this one succeeds the best at leaving behind the aura of impersonal hotel to create instead a cozy private home feel—with discreet hotel comforts—in a building from the 1800s. There's no sign, lobby, or reception; you just ring the bell and a butler answers the door. Victorian antiques and artwork abound, and the bathrooms are being redone in marble. For your honeymoon, book a choice room overlooking the private garden, or the enormous suite no. 35 taking up a whole side of the building with a massive four-poster king and a spacious bona-fide living room with a grandfather clock, oil paintings, and a working fireplace. There's a stone-floored breakfast room, a small gym and sauna, and you can treat yourselves to in-room massages. Concierge and room service are available 24 hours. Finding this place is tricky[md]there are four Cadogan Gardens streets that all intersect. See the following directions.
