Harbour Life:
Suite Yourself in Chelsea
The Chelsea Harbour Hotel & Spa is a unique ofering. To begin with,
quite adorably, it has lovely bits of retro-styling and is perched in
spectacular splendour upon The Thames in the daintily exquisite area
of Imperial Wharf. It has a decadent heart as an only-suites property
with elegant yachts and boats dotted all along the harbour marina and
pier. Illustrious neighbours include the Design Centre, the smashing
new development that is The Powerhouse plus Lots Road Auctions. The
building has an audacious art-deco look which on a sunny day could
well be mistaken for a gorgeous and nostalgic scene in 709s or 809s
Miami!! Hotels of this size are particularly rare in Chelsea and the 154
suites and four spectacular penthouses are amply luxurious as is the
glorious Spa which warrants a mention within the name. Mediterranean cuisine lights up the senses at The Anchor Bar & Terrace, an F&B
ofering worthy of the spectacular views of the river. The mood inside
the hotel is relaxed and the staf are friendly and warm. A sense of
freedom abounds within the capacious property and the rooms echo to
the same beat. Welcome to the urban oasis that is The Chelsea Harbour
Hotel & Spa!!
As the name suggests, the spa at the Chelsea Harbour Hotel is one of the
major reasons for being a guest at the property. It houses a 17-metre
indoor heated pool which is a treat in London and the signature holistic
treatments make this a proper spa experience including sauna and
steam room. On ofer is a selection of Caudalie treatments available
including facials, massages, body treatments and deluxe pamper days.
There is also a gym which completes the health experience and elevates
the otness experience.
However, the spa is far from being the only pulling perk here. The
Anchor Bar & Terrace is a picturesque and highly-Instragrammable
restaurant that serves classic afternoon tea and riveting cocktails that
will keep you singing sea shanties in your head for nights on end. It is a
perfect date-night option as well with a choice of Mediterranean and bar
classics on ofer along with an extensive seafood menu whilst boasting
panoramic view of several London landmarks
Most of the suites either have marina or river views and boast chunky
wooden panels, ottings and furniture in going with the retro feel. CO
Bigelow toiletries perfume the bathrooms which are particularly huge in
the penthouse suites which include Abingdon and Kensington and the
mega-sized King9s at 175 square metres. The Saville is another choice if
you9re looking at a penthouse accommodation.
To reiterate, this is a unique hotel. It feels like an exotic hotel by a quiet
beach or river yet it boasts some of the most panoramic views of London
and is ideally situated in Chelsea. The beautiful Anchor Bar and Grill
and generous spa with a gorgeous swimming pool further accentuate the
un-Londonlike space and then there9s the suites-and-penthouses-only
extravagance coupled with that retro-luxurious look that sets it apart.
The Chelsea Harbour Hotel and Spa is a must visit for all KCR Luxophiles!
