The Cadogan Hotel

75 Sloane Street, SW1X 9SG
An elegant Edwardian hotel, steeped in history, The Cadogan's Irish connection can be found hidden away in room 118 where Irish playwright Oscar Wilde was arrested in 1895. His crime, committing various acts of indecency, earned him two years in prison and the famous arrest was recorded in a poem by John Betjeman, 'The Arrest of Oscar Wilde at the Cadogan Hotel'. The hotel also has strong links with British royalty - this time in the elegant Edward VII Suite, where the future King of England pursued his prolonged courtship with actress Lillie Langtry. Today, The Cadogan makes an excellent choice for the serious fashionista with a weakness for designer labels. The road on which the hotel is located, Sloane Street - which links Knightsbridge with Sloane Square and the Kings Road - has a heavy concentration of designer shops including Gucci, Tiffany, Prada and Harvey Nichols.
