After a busy day of shopping in the boutiques of Chelsea and Knightsbridge, why not make a pitstop at this glamorous bar at 11 Cadogan Gardens? Located inside the 5-star luxury hotel - the only hotel that's part of the Relais & Châteaux group in London - The Chelsea Bar is something of a best-kept secret amongst locals and only a minute's walk away from Sloane Square. What's more, you don't have to be a staying at the hotel to enjoy a tipple here.
The bar's unique interior is what attracts guests - and keeps them there! Deep blues and golds are knitted into every corner of the room, while low-level lighting, rich wooden parquet floors and a dramatic colour palette creates a sultry and seductive feel.
Take a seat at the bar on one of the charcoal leather stools and watch an expert mixologist create one of their signature cocktails while you wait. Or, escape the hussle and bussle of the city with a drink in a quiet corner, safe in the arms of one of their comfortable leather armchairs, while you catch up with a friend. Larger-than-life furnishings, not to mention a centrepiece fireplace, ensures cosiness and comfort are at the forefront of guest's minds as soon as they enter.
From the menu, choose from a selection of house cocktails which blend traditional favourites with innovative mixes. There’s also an extensive wine list and a selection of beers and spirits, while a menu of light bites will satiate any hunger pangs as you while away the evening. The menu might not be on the cheaper side, but it helps to consider the ambience as included in the price.
The Chelsea Bar is a fantastic place to relax and unwind, or even to entertain, with the reception holding up to 50 guests.
