If you are looking for an intimate, personalised experience in a small 5 star hotel in London, The Draycott is the answer to your prayers.
Situated in Chelsea’s Sloane Square, The Draycott Hotel oozes understated elegance and old world romantic charm. Voted one of the UK’s Premier 5 star Luxury Boutique Hotels, this hidden gem in the manic centre of London, evokes a feeling of an English Country home.
Exquisitely individually decorated suites await your arrival, some with their own cosy fireplaces and others overlooking the magnificent private gardens. Service at The Draycott is impeccable. The friendly and ever efficient staff will ensure that the hotel becomes your London home. After a long haul flight, getting through passport control and Heathrow, not to mention traffic to the hotel, the warm arms that greet you as if you are a long lost friend are most welcoming. The ultimate in luxury and comfort is the bed – once sucked in you are enveloped in the best cotton sheets, the softest pillows and the most amazing mattresses.
You don’t hear a sound, with all the hussle and bussle outside one would have thought you would hear something – it is a true haven of tranquillity and peacefulness, yet a hop, skip and a jump to all the vibrancy of London.
Amongst the many services offered at the hotel, the personal and little touches are what make the difference. Breakfasts are fabulous, room service is available at the touch of a button, but even better is the afternoon tea with the most scrumptious home-made biscuits served in the drawing room at 4pm, followed by champagne at 6pm and to top it all off, hot chocolate just before retiring for the day – all with compliments of The Draycott.
