11 Cadogan Gardens hosts board meetings, off-sites, away days, private dinners, cocktail parties and weddings in a series of reception rooms, bars and a garden, and the whole hotel can be reserved with its 56 rooms and suites for a night or a weekend. The hotel occupies four Victorian houses on Cadogan Gardens in Chelsea, London, and is a member of Relais & Châteaux.
Seminars and company events
The meeting rooms have natural daylight and audiovisual equipment, and a dedicated member of the events team supports each booking. The format fits small and senior groups: a board meeting in the Library, a strategy day that moves from a meeting room to lunch in the Conservatory, or an away day that ends with cocktails in the Chelsea Bar and dinner in the Mirror Room. To prepare a proposal, the events team asks for the date, the number of guests and the occasion, and it usually arranges site visits within the week.
Weddings and receptions
Several rooms in the hotel are licensed for civil ceremonies, and receptions and private dinners can run across the house. Couples can take the whole building for exclusive use, so that guests sleep, dine and celebrate under one roof. Smaller celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and family gatherings use the private dining rooms, and the hotel runs seasonal lunches at Christmas.
Rooms and capacities
The event spaces are the Curio and the Curio Lounge, the Mirror Room for dinners, the Library with bookshelves and a fireplace, the Wine Room, the Conservatory with tables for intimate dinners, the Chelsea Bar for cocktails, the Secret Garden and Hans' Bar & Grill, which can be booked for exclusive use. The Drawing Room serves afternoon tea and hosts seasonal lunches. The hotel does not publish capacities online, and the events team sets them out for each format on request.
Accommodation
The hotel has 56 rooms and suites, from Petite Doubles to Deluxe Kings, and some suites open onto the quiet of Pavilion Road Mews. The sister property, The Chelsea Townhouse, a short walk away, adds bedrooms and event spaces for larger groups, and long-stay apartments are available across the square.
Catering
Hans' Bar & Grill, on Pavilion Road, is the hotel's restaurant and can be reserved in full for a private dinner. The Chelsea Bar serves cocktails, and afternoon tea is served in the Drawing Room. Menus for private dining follow the occasion and the size of the group.
History and setting
The hotel occupies four Victorian houses on Cadogan Gardens, a residential garden square in Chelsea, with a courtyard behind them. Inside, the rooms keep the scale of a private townhouse, with a library and open fireplaces, which suits a meeting or a dinner that should feel like a private home rather than a conference center.
Getting there
Sloane Square Underground station, on the District and Circle lines, is a few minutes' walk away, and Sloane Street and the King's Road are close by. Heathrow is the nearest major airport.
