Parisian hotelier Jean-Louis Costes is to design a new 40-bedroom hotel on the Cadogan Estate in London's Chelsea. The hotel - One Sloane Gardens – is currently Victorian residential apartments.
Development on site will begin in 2015 with the hotel expected to open in 2016.
Expect super-chic opulence and A-list guests. Costes said the hotel would “reflect his enduring principles of elegance and individual spirit — capturing the best of the cultural and social milieu of the location and moment in time”. Hôtel Costes in Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris (pictured) has been described as having the “sexy velvet cool of a boudoir”.
