[ 11 Cadogan Gardens - best for Sloane Rangers
If you love James Bond you will love this hotel. A boutique hotel brimming with British charm and refinement
Once upon a time this exact site was Buckingham Palace's cricket grounds - but it was turned into four townhouses by Lord Chelsea in the 19th century
If you love James Bond you will love this hotel. A boutique hotel brimming with British charm and refinement - 11 Cadogan Gardens is Chelsea's best-kept secret. It blends so well into its affluent residential surroundings, you have very likely walked past it and missed it. A long time celebrity fave, it was here that Julia Roberts is said to have stayed while filming Notting Hill.
And here history abounds.
Once upon a time this exact site was Buckingham Palace's cricket grounds - but it was turned into four townhouses by Lord Chelsea in the 19th century. Just moments from Sloane Square, and fresh faced following a yearlong swish renovation, this luxury hotel is a delightful stay for those seeking British refinement and elegance.
Overall Verdict: Feels exclusive and private. From breakfasts in the cheery conservatory to the sexy and dark bar, to an inviting library - it feels like you are in a home away from home.
Address: 11 Cadogan Gardens, Chelsea, London, England, United Kingdom SW3 2RJ.  
Website: Best for celeb watching - Nobu Shoreditch
Nobu hotels and restaurants attract some of the world's most famous movie stars, actors, and designers
The hotel offers 148 guest rooms and suites, and is home to the third Nobu restaurant in London - and the only Nobu that serves breakfast
Nobu hotels and restaurants attract some of the world's most famous movie stars, actors, and designers.
The brand's first and only London hotel, Nobu Shoreditch is where Japanese refinement meets East London magnetism and everybody wins.
Enigmatic and seductive, think low-slung seating, black marble and Japanese screens expertly mingled with concrete walls and globe lighting - it's Tokyo though an East London Insta-filter.
The hotel offers 148 guest rooms and suites, and is home to the third Nobu restaurant in London - and the only Nobu that serves breakfast. Dinner at the Nobu Shoreditch restaurant was spectacular. And in the morning, we recommend the eggs ‘Matsuhisa' Benedict (with tofu and snow crab), or American brunch-style hybrids such as fried chicken with matcha waffles.
Overall verdict: The world class dining and dynamism that Nobu is famous for along with chic minimalist style make this one a no brainer
Address: 10-50 Willow St, London EC2A 4BH.
Website: Best for romance - Blakes Hotel
One of London's sexiest hotels, Blakes is ideal for a romantic break - think black panelling, four poster beds and curved gold mirrors, dim lighting and deep, plush fabrics
The intimate 57-seat Blakes Restaurant was inspired by Anouska Hempel's vision of a beautiful old-fashioned steamer sailing up the Bosphorus
Following a recent revamp the rich, theatrical, stage-like atmosphere here really sets it apart.
One of London's sexiest hotels, Blakes is ideal for a romantic break - think black panelling, four poster beds and curved gold mirrors, dim lighting and deep, plush fabrics - all combining to offer a strong sense of something rather exotic for South Kensington.
Each room has its own design and offers a kind of modern decadence.
All are inspired by various far-off lands: Russia, India, or Turkey.
And do book for dinner.
The intimate 57-seat Blakes Restaurant was inspired by Anouska Hempel's vision of a beautiful old-fashioned steamer sailing up the Bosphorus - bold and daring, you will be transported.
If the weather is decent make sure to visit the hotel's stunning courtyard - which has also been given a fresh look by British designer Matthew Williamson. Converted from a set of Victorian townhouses, Blakes Hotel truly sets the stage for something extraordinary - with an unassuming Victorian façade that just faintly hints at the mystery and magic within.
Overall verdict: It doesn't get sexier than this. Perfect for a romantic weekend with a loved one.
Address: 33 Roland Gardens, SW7 3PF.
Website: Best for style seekers - The Bloomsbury Hotel
Set inside a Grade II-listed Georgian building designed in 1928 by Sir Edwin Lutyens, this classic hotel is part of the luxury group, the Doyle Collection - and has just had a full-throttle renovation. The showstopper is the new Coral Room lounge and bar
This is London's most Instagrammable hotel, where divine design meets sheer luxe

Set inside a Grade II-listed Georgian building designed in 1928 by Sir Edwin Lutyens, this classic hotel is part of the luxury group, the Doyle Collection - and has just had a full-throttle renovation. Bold fabrics, striking colours and vivid wallpapers combine with luxury details such as duck down pillows and duvets, under-floor bathroom heating, Nespresso machines and free WiFi to make this one not to be missed.
The showstopper is the new Coral Room lounge and bar, which is finished in a vivid coral paint on original panelled walls and boasts five enormous and breath-taking Murano glass chandeliers.
The hotel's Dalloway Terrace is said to be the most Instagrammed restaurant in London.
Named after the eponymous character created by Virginia Woolf, it is an indoor/outdoor restaurant, fully heated in winter, offering the charm of a secluded garden. It serves comfort food meets sophistication (we loved the lobster mac and cheese).
Overall verdict: London's most Instagrammable hotel where divine design meets sheer luxe.
Address: 16-22 Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3NN.

The beds are enormous as are the marble baths, both of which sit proudly in front of a glass walled view. The marble-clad bathrooms have heated floors (and warm loo seats) and, when the sun gets too much, automatic shields are activated to protect against the glare.
