Luxury Boutique Hotel Joins Prestigious Hospitality Association
Amongst the World’s Best Hotels and Restaurants
London, November 18 th 2019 – As Relais & Châteaux announces its newest members around the
world, 11 Cadogan Gardens is honourably welcomed as the association’s only London hotel. Following
in the steps of its sister properties Chewton Glen, the first Relais & Châteaux hotel in the UK, and
Cliveden House, 11 Cadogan Gardens will be the third member in the Iconic Luxury Hotels group to
join the prestigious association.
Relais & Châteaux members embody exceptional hospitality through service, cuisine and amenities,
while offering travellers a sense of place rich in culture and heritage. It was the award-winning Chewton
Glen that set the standard of excellence for Relais & Châteaux in the United Kingdom, as the first-ever
British hotel to join the association back in 1971. Championing its rich heritage and exceptional service,
11 Cadogan Gardens has followed in Chewton Glen’s footsteps, to become one of the finest hotels in
the world. Originally built by Lord Chelsea in the late 19 th century as part of the prestigious Cadogan
Estate, 11 Cadogan Gardens today stands as one of London’s premier boutique hotels, with 56 luxury
guestrooms and a brand-new restaurant, Hans’ Bar & Grill, that opens onto the artisanal Pavilion Road.
Located in the heart of Chelsea, just off Sloane Square, the property is rooted in heritage and has
become a staple destination for the local community.
“We are proud that 11 Cadogan Gardens has been welcomed into the Relais & Châteaux family and
has become the association’s only London hotel,” says Andrew Stembridge, Executive Director of Iconic
Luxury Hotels. “A quintessential British building, the property is exquisitely designed and offers
impeccable service – both pillars that stay true to the ethos of Relais & Châteaux. It’s amazing to see
the hotel now standing amongst the world’s finest hotels and restaurants.”
Philippe Gombert, President of Relais & Châteaux said: “We are very happy to count 11 Cadogan
Gardens as a member of our family. This is a perfect example of what Relais & Châteaux is: properties
anchored in their region, ambassadors of their heritage, but also passionate about their craft. The hotel
is perfectly located and will offer a delicious immersion into London for our guests.”
Relais & Châteaux is a global fellowship of individually owned and operated luxury hotels and
restaurants, with 580 members in 60+ countries around the world. Established in 1954, the association’s
members share a unified passion for exceptional hospitality and a desire to protect their heritage.
