The Cadogan
$$$$$, Chelsea
Fodor's Review:
This is one of London's most historically naughty hotels. The Cadogan was once the home of Lillie Langtry, a scandalous actress and King Edward's mistress in the 1890s. Her home was turned into a hotel, where Oscar Wilde stayed in 1895 when he was arrested for "indecency" with a young man. A recent overhaul means much of the hotel's old stuffiness is gone -- elegant golds and creams have replaced fussy florals. The drawing room has rich wood paneling and deep, comfortable armchairs, and is an excellent place for tea and people-watching. The small, sophisticated bar urges you to have a martini and a cigar. Breakfast offers healthy cereals and fruits alongside decadent pastries.

Got No Sleep
Posted by NYCtraveler8 from New York on 6/2/08
I stayed here last month. I was shown to my room by a staff member who said it was her favorite room in the hotel - she must be an insomniac because the street noise made it impossible to get any sleep. The hotel is located at the intersection of two major streets and so the street noise goes on all night long. I live in New York City and so know there are things you can do to block out the street noise but this hotel has done of those things. I won't even bother to mention that a window, window shade, light and air conditioner in my room were all not working.
