The hype
Guests adore the location and the 'live like a local' feeling, but many are caught off guard by the check-in logistics and extra fees.
The Apartments By The Sloane Club
$480-1250/ notte
Prenota se You want a posh Chelsea pied-à-terre with the prestige of a private members' club but the independence of an apartment.
Perché piace così tanto
- Access to The Sloane Club's concierge, dining, and speakeasy
- Located on a whisper-quiet residential street just 2 minutes from Sloane Square tube
- Full Poggenpohl kitchens and Nespresso machines in every unit
In sintesi: It's a brilliant Chelsea address, but be ready to pay extra for everything from weekend housekeeping to gym access.
Recensito da @conciergekate: I’ve always wanted to live in one of those red-brick Chelsea mansions, and this stay finally made it happen. Waking up to that leafy street view and making coffee in my own kitchen felt so much more authentic than a standard hotel. Truly my favorite London home base.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
The 'camp bed' for extra guests costs a steep £50/night, and the split-level layout in studios can be a nightmare for anyone with mobility issues.
- You want to feel like a wealthy Chelsea resident, not a tourist
- You need a full kitchen and laundry facilities for a longer stay
- You appreciate having a 24/7 concierge just a phone call away

- Linens & towels: High-quality, crisp white linens and fluffy towels.
- Odors & scents: Fresh, neutral scent; no complaints of mustiness despite the age of the building.
