From the outside, The Cadogan could be mistaken for any other red-bricked townhouse, except possibly for the smartly dressed doorman. The private entrance on Pont Street marks the former home of Lillie Langtry, the famed socialite and consort of the Prince of Wales, and its solid wooden front door gives way to one of London’s finest addresses. The Cadogan is a fashionable hideaway on the crossroads between two of the city’s most affluent neighbourhoods, surrounded by smart boutiques and world-class restaurants, and providing the ideal base from which to explore.
Interiors of traditional British oak give way to contemporary touches across the 54 rooms and suites, each with cream linens, flashes of vibrant colours and works of art. The Speciality Suites include No 118, the Royal Suite - where legend has it that Oscar Wilde was arrested - and the Penthouse Suite, which provides total privacy with a dining room and garden views from its own balcony.
