The luxury Chelsea hotel with suites that overlook the London Eye – and it won’t break the bank
Chelsea Harbour Hotel harnesses upmarket London glamour, but at a reasonable price.
Read on to find out more about the swanky rooms and what there is to do nearby.
Where is Chelsea Harbour Hotel?
The hotel sits a few minutes’ walk from Imperial Wharf station, in the west of the capital.
Fulham Broadway underground station is just over a 15-minute walk away.
What is Chelsea Harbour Hotel like?
It’s a sanctuary away from crowds.
The streets surrounding the hotel remained relatively empty on the weekend we visited.
Excellent service matches the elegant decor too – upon arrival you’ll be welcomed into the super-shiny lobby and whisked off to one of the seated desks for check in.
What is there to do at Chelsea Harbour Hotel?
Stay for the hotel’s jazz night on a Friday and then work off the hangover with a dip in the pool or trip to the hotel’s spa.
If you’re looking for something new to do in the capital, hop on an Uber Boat by Thames Clippers from Chelsea pier and sail along the river to Battersea Power Station – a sparkly £9 billion attraction with shops, hotels, restaurants and more.
What is there to eat and drink at Chelsea Harbour Hotel?
Dinner in the main restaurant is typical brasserie fair with decent-priced classics like rack of lamb, lobster linguine and tiramisu.
I only sampled the brekkie buffet, which had everything from Full English goodies to hummus with pitta bread and compote-topped yoghurt pots.
Make sure to get out an explore, though, as Chelsea is home to some of the capital’s trendiest restaurants, like the nearby Rabbit which takes foraged, local ingredients and turns them into modern masterpieces.
What are the rooms like at Chelsea Harbour Hotel?
Book a room overlooking the calm marina and you’ll feel worlds away from the crowded chaos of central London – although, at night, you may be able to spot the London Eye, glowing across the river.
There are no basic bedrooms here, only luxury suites with comfy en-suite bedrooms and a separate living room area – but the best part is, they’re extraordinarily affordable for London.
If you’re going all out, splurge on a penthouse suite which certainly has the wow factor from the decor to amenities and even the seductive smell that hits the moment the double doors swing open.
A swanky living room, impressive mini bar and walk-in wardrobe are just the start – the huge bath, with colour-changing LEDs and a built-in tv at the foot end, is the cherry on top.
