The Apartments by The Sloane Club

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first walked up to The Apartments by The Sloane Club, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect – the name makes it sound a bit stuffy, you know? But it’s actually this really lovely converted townhouse setup tucked into Sloane Gardens, which is one of those gorgeous tree-lined squares that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into a period drama. The entrance is understated in that very British way, but once you’re inside, it’s clear this place gets it right.

What struck me immediately was how they’ve managed to make it feel like proper apartments rather than hotel rooms with kitchenettes slapped in. I mean, the living spaces actually flow naturally, and the kitchens aren’t afterthoughts – they’re properly equipped with decent-sized fridges and real cooking equipment. This matters more than you’d think, especially if you’re staying for more than a few days or traveling with kids who have specific food needs. The furniture feels substantial too, not that flimsy hotel stuff that wobbles when you look at it. My particular unit had these lovely high ceilings and big windows that let in loads of light, though I should mention the ones facing the street can get a bit noisy during morning rush hour – nothing terrible, but worth requesting a garden-facing room if you’re a light sleeper.

The location is honestly brilliant, though you might not realize it immediately if you don’t know the area well. You’re literally a three-minute walk from Sloane Square tube station, which puts you one stop from Victoria and two from King’s Road. But here’s what the maps don’t tell you – you’re also right around the corner from some fantastic local spots that tourists usually miss. There’s this excellent little Italian place called Enoteca Turi just down the road, and if you walk five minutes toward Pimlico Road, you’ll hit some of the best antique shops in London. The staff actually knows this stuff too, which surprised me – they gave me directions to a proper hardware store when I needed to buy a phone charger, rather than just pointing me toward the nearest tourist trap. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward, no hovering or overselling of services, just helpful and efficient. During my stay in early autumn, the building was quiet and peaceful, though I imagine it gets busier during peak summer season. The whole experience felt more like borrowing a friend’s really nice flat than staying in a hotel – and with a 9-star rating, you can see why people keep coming back.
