The Cadogan

Description

The Cadogan was built in 1887. Soon after opening its doors, it became linked with two of the most fascinating personalities of the age, both at the centre of London’s social and artistic life – Lillie Langtry and Oscar Wilde. Lillie Langtry, famous actress and close friend of Edward VII, lived at 21 Pont Street from 1892 to 1897. Long after she had sold the house, Lillie would stay in her old bedroom, by then a part of the hotel. The Cadogan is perhaps best known for its association with Oscar Wilde who was arrested in room 118 in 1895. This incident at The Cadogan was immortalized by John Betjeman in his poem "The Arrest of Oscar Wilde at the Cadogan Hotel." Today The Cadogan has the feel of a private townhouse steeped with British old-world elegance. The experience is complemented by touches of unexpected modernity, which are subtly woven in to bring this historical building into the 21st Century. The Cadogan is located directly on Sloane Street, only a short walk from both Sloane Square and Knightsbridge underground stations. It is easily accessible from London's City, Heathrow and Gatwick airports by either express train, taxi or limousine service. Guests of The Cadogan can enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the private gardens on Cadogan Place opposite the hotel, one of London’s many private gardens. For the more energetic, tennis courts can be booked via Concierge and we will supply you with tennis rackets and balls. *** March 02, 2007 to July 06, 2007: Hotel will undergo a refurbishment.
