Beaverbrook Town House

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose this small, art-led Chelsea townhouse for theatre-themed suites, Japanese dining and a vivid alternative to a conventional large London hotel.

About the hotel

On Sloane Street in Chelsea, Beaverbrook Town House occupies two restored Georgian townhouses facing Cadogan Gardens. Its 14 suites take their cues from London theatres, while more than 500 artworks bring Japanese prints and London cultural references into bedrooms and public rooms. The scale is intimate rather than that of a grand hotel; the property’s character comes through in its theatrical interiors, art collection and Japanese restaurant, The Fuji Grill.

Choose it if

You want a compact Chelsea base where theatre-themed suites and a collection of more than 500 artworks give the interiors a strong sense of identity.
You want Japanese cuisine and a dedicated cocktail bar on site, rather than relying on the neighbourhood for every meal and drink.
You’re travelling with family and want interconnecting suite options; the hotel specifically describes its two-room suite as suited to families.

Skip it if

You need to bring a pet: the hotel’s terms say dogs and other pets are not permitted.
You’re looking for a sprawling resort rather than a small hotel in an urban Chelsea setting.

The Stafford London

London, United Kingdom

CityHistoric

Set in St James’s, The Stafford occupies a historic group of buildings arranged around a private cobbled courtyard, with accommodation in the Main House, Mews and former Carriage House. Its character comes from the contrast between inherited townhouse details and individually designed rooms, alongside an American Bar and a subterranean wine cellar that includes a small Second World War museum. The result is a distinctly central London stay with a historic, inward-facing feel.
