“This 5-star hotel just off Chelsea's iconic Sloane Square showcases a wonderful blend of classic British style and French flair. Rooms are elegantly decorated, featuring panelled walls and stained glass windows. There's a French-meets-Asian restaurant, plus a plush speakeasy bar. A touch of class.”

Other reviews

At Sloane, Chelsea, London

It’s only the doorman who signals that the lovely red-brick townhouse of 1 Sloane Gardens is actually a hotel. It’s right next to the Sloane Square tube station, and yet the square’s hubbub feels miles away on this genteel street. Inside the vestibule, there may be a grandeur to the neo-Greek friezes, trompe l’oeil ceiling and restored William Benson chandeliers, but the prevailing sense is of discreet contemporary cool. In an adjoining room, reception is on a long table, strewn with magazines and futuristic backgammon and chess sets. Up ahead, a traditional close-door lift bypasses a stairwell lined with black-and-whites of iconic faces (Princess Diana, Kate Moss, George Bernard Shaw), and lots of shapely nudes – leading to jewel-box rooms, a slinky basement bar and a sixth-floor restaurant modelled after Thomas Jeckyll’s Anglo-Japanese Peacock Room from 1877.
