The Cadogan Hotel Review

Elegant creams and golds and postmodern guest-room decor now prevail at one of London's most historically naughty hotels, once the home of Lillie Langtry, a scandalous actress and King Edward's mistress in the 1890s, and where Oscar Wilde was staying in 1895 (in Room 118) when he was arrested for "indecency" with a young man. The drawing room has rich wood paneling and deep, comfortable armchairs, and is a good place for afternoon tea and people-watching, as is the small, sophisticated bar. Breakfast includes healthy cereals and fruits alongside decadent pastries.

    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.
