HISTORY

Built in 1829 as two townhouses, the Grade II listed buildings were converted from private residences into a hotel in the 1980’s. As the tallest building on the street, taking prominence over its neighbours, it was named Sydney House.

Andrew and Christina Brownsword bought Sydney House Chelsea in 2001. It became the second hotel in their collection, seven years after the purchase of The Bath Priory in 1994.

ROOMS

Spread over seven floors, Sydney House Chelsea has 21 stylish, double bedrooms with quality and comfort at their core. 'The Room at the Top' boasts its own private roof garden with stunning views over South Kensington, Chelsea and beyond.
