Description: The perfect balance of luxury, privacy and location, poised between London's fashionable Chelsea and Knightsbridge, presented and staffed as a grand Edwardian residence, The Draycott Hotel is not a hotel, it is a home. For those who have yet to stay at The Draycott Hotel, it should come as a very pleasant surprise. Perhaps even as a breath of fresh air. To quote one of our guests, "most hotels only give you a sense that you're comfortable while on your way somewhere else. This one gives you the impression not that you're just passing through - but that this is where you're meant to be". Between 1996 and 1998 these three neighboring late Edwardian houses in Cadogan Gardens, just off Sloane Street, London SW3, were restored to become an elegant, graceful and amazingly peaceful place to stay. Choose from 35 individually appointed and furnished rooms, each themed around a different object - be it an Indian ivory and ebony mirror, a satinwood table, or a Georgian-style canopy bed. Spend time in the Library or relax in the beautifully decorated drawing room with complimentary Tea and Biscuits at 4pm, chilled glass of champagne before dinner at 6pm or the best hot chocolate you have tasted from 9 pm.
