If you’re searching for an elegant haven in one of London’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, The Chelsea Townhouse offers an experience that feels both luxurious and personal. With its prime location in Chelsea, just a stone’s throw from Pavilion Road and the iconic King’s Road, this boutique hotel has quickly established itself as one of the finest options for discerning travellers since its opening in September 2023.
A Unique Hotel Experience in London’s Chelsea
The Chelsea Townhouse is not just a hotel—it’s a collection of three beautifully restored townhouses, offering 36 rooms and suites that blend heritage charm with contemporary elegance. Whether you’re a family looking for spacious accommodation for an extended and comfortable stay in London or a couple looking for a chic London retreat, The Chelsea Townhouse caters to a variety of needs.
Each guest key grants access to all three townhouses, creating the sense of staying in a private residence. For those seeking exclusivity, the property can be booked as a full buyout, making it perfect for special occasions or private events.
Families will appreciate the eight dedicated setups designed for connected living, while those seeking an elevated stay can enjoy one of the four suites with direct access to the private Cadogan Gardens—a unique feature not found in other London hotels.
The Perfect Location for Exploring Chelsea
Set in a tranquil pocket of Chelsea, this boutique hotel is ideally situated for exploring some of London’s finest attractions. I used to live about 10 mins walk away and this location is very much a “hidden gem” – a quiet location but very much in the heart of the action.
Just a minute’s walk from Pavilion Road – and its eclectic selection of shops and restaurants – and King’s Road, guests can indulge in boutique shopping, chic cafés, and vibrant dining spots. For luxury shoppers, Harrods, Sloane Street, and Knightsbridge are within easy reach.
Culture enthusiasts will love the proximity to the V&A Museum, Royal Albert Hall, and the Saatchi Gallery. Whether you’re visiting for business or pleasure, The Chelsea Townhouse positions you at the heart of London’s most coveted area.
Blending History with Modern Elegance
Formerly the Draycott Hotel, The Chelsea Townhouse retains its historic charm while feeling refreshingly new. Many of the original pieces of artwork and select furniture have been thoughtfully preserved, seamlessly blending with the hotel’s chic, updated interiors. The result is a property that feels both timeless and contemporary, steeped in character yet undeniably fresh.
It also feels refreshing! I visit London hotels almost every week and to see this level of characters and modern amenities combined so well is rare.
The Garden Room, a highlight of the property, offers a light space to enjoy breakfast, brunch (coming soon!), a hot beverage and something sweet in the afternoon, or evening drinks. For more intimate gatherings (or that Zoom call that we all need to join without disturbing others), the cosy Front Room is the perfect retreat.
It is worth noting that the property does not have its own gym but guests can access facilities (including fitness suite) at its sister hotel, 11 Cadogan Gardens, conveniently located just around the corner. Of course, any food & drink consumed can be charged directly to your room.
Thoughtful Details for an Exceptional Stay
At The Chelsea Townhouse, quiet luxury lies in the details. From minibars included in the rate upon arrival to bespoke Welcome amenities (don’t miss the signature Chelsea bun), the hotel ensures every guest feels pampered. Dog lovers will be pleased to know the property is dog-friendly, unfortunately our furry friends are not permitted in the garden.
For those seeking more expansive stays, the Junior Suite can be connected to a studio with a kitchenette, providing a perfect setup for longer visits. And with Chelsea King rooms making up 40% of the inventory, there’s a focus on offering a generous, comfortable experience at every level. The entry-level rooms are small but perfectly adequate for a cosy weekend away with your loved one.
A New Addition to Relais & Châteaux
As part of the Relais & Châteaux family, The Chelsea Townhouse offers the impeccable service and attention to detail synonymous with the brand. Together with 11 Cadogan Gardens, the two properties function like a boutique resort, with one team managing both hotels and seamless charging privileges across facilities.
Why Stay at The Chelsea Townhouse?
With its tranquil setting, impeccable design, and unbeatable location, The Chelsea Townhouse redefines luxury in London’s Chelsea. Whether you’re drawn by its family-friendly layouts, historic charm, or access to exclusive Cadogan Gardens, this hotel offers an unmatched experience in one of London’s most iconic neighbourhoods.
