Hotel Description
If you're in search of a small elegant five star hotel in London that's replete with luxurious finishes, grand interiors and staff on hand to satisfy your every whim, look no further than the Draycott, a luxury London Hotel situated between Chelsea and Knightsbridge.

With understated elegance and authentic English grandness, the Draycott is more than just a five star town house hotel in London. Formerly known as Cliveden Town House, it occupies three red-brick Edwardian homes just around the corner from Chelsea's Sloane Square.

Luxury Hotel Accommodation
The Draycott Hotel is a hotel with pedigree, and that pedigree is nowhere more apparent than in its 35 beautifully appointed and individually decorated rooms.

Steeped in Edwardian splendour; with high ceilings and
fireplaces; each room is theatrically themed and adorned with
Victorian antiques. Each room contains something of its
theatrical namesake - be it Sheridan, Coward, Grenfell, or
Ashcroft - such as prints, posters, photographs and a miniature biography of the impressario in question. And each room comes with ensuite bathroom containing a well-proportioned bath and a power shower.

Rooms and suites at the back of the property benefit from glorious views over the private garden square below - particularly beautiful when the cherry trees are in blossom. And, at the end of the day there is the indulgence of sleeping between finest Sea Island cotton in a luxuriously large bed, especially made to Draycott Hotel's own specification and designed for perfect rest.

Whether you are staying in a single room or a deluxe suite, all rooms feature the modern amenities you'd expect, such as air conditioning, satellite television and CD music system. Where better than The Draycott Hotel to combine the grandeur of the past with the luxuries and convenience of today.
