Set within a restored Victorian townhouse on Queen’s Gate, The Adria offers a discreet, residential take on London luxury. Interiors are deeply tailored—dark panelling, Persian rugs, and curated art punctuate a series of lounges that feel more like a diplomat’s salon than a hotel lobby. The atmosphere is hushed, attentive, with a sense of privacy that appeals to those who prefer understatement over display.

Positioned between the museums of South Kensington and the garden squares of Chelsea, the hotel is a convenient yet secluded base. Service is intuitive and personalised, with butlers managing everything from in-room dining to private car arrangements. Rooms combine high ceilings and traditional detailing with modern comforts, while marble bathrooms and handmade furnishings underscore the house’s crafted quality.
