THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED

Nothing says “city break” quite like a stopover at one of
London’s most exclusive addresses. With that in mind, we’ve teamed
up with our friends at The Cadogan to offer you the chance to win a
two-night stay for you and a friend to Belmond’s retreat in the
heart of Chelsea.

We’re guessing your spring checklist includes a luxurious
weekend getaway at a stylish property that offers ease of access to
the capital’s hottest locations and a sense of living it up away
from all the normal daily stresses, right? Step in, The Cadogan,
the Chelsea establishment where history meets high society. The
London base of choice for well-heeled visitors since 1887, it packs
high-spec elegance, soft luxury and a nod to its illustrious past
behind its elegant west London walls. It’s basically London’s
spirit, made material.

Equidistant between Sloane Street and Knightsbridge tube
stations, the hotel offers guests a sense of being given the keys
to their own private residence (access to a private garden
included). You and your friend will be bedding down in a bedroom
designed in a palette of pale greys, with subtle nods to the
hotel’s heady heritage. Parquet floors, 100-year-old paintings and
Oscar Wilde’s former crash pad, room 118, sit comfortably beside
21st-century opulence – case in point, the specially commissioned
artwork made from 25,000 Swarovski crystals in the lobby.

Unwind after your day and select a book from the in-room
libraries, curated by local bookseller John Sandoe, then settle in
for a three-course dinner for two at The LaLee, the whimsical new
café-restaurant inspired by the hotel’s former socialite resident
Lillie Langtry. This is the place to savour grand European bistro
classics of lobster and frites, flat iron steak and rack of lamb
with sauce vierge – all on the house, of course.

And the best bit? You don’t need to rush. The prize is valid
until 31 December 2022, giving you plenty of time to plan your
perfect Chelsea escape.
