The smoke-free The Chelsea Townhouse Hotel London features a stunning location around 15 minutes' walk from rockery. Situated fairly close to the enticing Saatchi Gallery, this 5-star hotel boasts air-conditioned rooms along with a picnic area and a library available onsite.

Location

The historic Tower of London lies about 7 km away, while the cantilevered Coca-Cola London Eye Observation Wheel is approximately 3 km from the hotel. The Chelsea London is also 300 metres from the non-commercial West End Royal Court Theatre and within a 5-minute drive of The Mound.

This accommodation is just off gardens, and the famous British Museum is situated 3.7 km away. A family vacation to London will become more exciting if you visit Battersea Park lying within 25 minutes' walk of the hotel.

The Chelsea Townhouse Hotel lies merely 250 metres from Sloane Square underground station and 3.6 km from Marylebone train station.

There are 36 rooms equipped with air conditioning along with modern facilities including a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. They are appointed with a writing table, and also feature a mini-bar and coffee/tea making machines. Guests will find a hairdryer and bath sheets in the bathrooms fitted with a separate toilet and a shower. Enjoy views of the garden, while staying at The Chelsea.

Eat & Drink

An à la carte restaurant is located onsite. The Flower Tea at 11 Cadogan Gardens is nearly 5 minutes' walk away.

Leisure & Business

Guests will appreciate traditional afternoon teas organised at the property.

“The Edwardian building, discreetly tucked away in Chelsea, projects an understated but confident luxury. I found the unique access to Cadogan Gardens a notable perk, along with family-friendly accommodations. It's a place for those seeking an experience steeped in British charm.”

The complimentary breakfast had a limited selection, and basic tea incurred an additional charge.
