A Boutique Hotel in the Heart of Chelsea San Domenico House embodies Italian
hospitality in London. Just a stone’s throw away from King’s Road in the heart of the
prestigious Chelsea neighborhood, this timeless boutique hotel perfectly combines Italian
classicism with traditional British style. Hidden among typical red brick Victorian homes,
this place is the perfect mix of elegant interiors and classic antiques, offering the
welcoming atmosphere of a cozy home with the quality of a high-end hotel. San Domenico
House is one of few contemporary hotels in central London with such a rich history.
Entering the townhouse hotel is like stepping into a world that perfectly combines eclectic
English design and glamourous Italian flair. A hotel with a fascinating past yet perfectly
suited to modern times. This Victorian-style building was built circa 1887 as a private
residence and remained so until the 1950s.
Each of the 19 rooms has been individually designed in line with the original concept of the
hotel, with its own unique story and unabashed taste and style, which has attracted artists,
designers, writers, and dignitaries over the years. Each room is uniquely decorated with
classical furniture, exquisite antiques, and fine fabrics. The interiors of all rooms and suites
are distinctively themed and superbly decorated, with paneled walls and ragged paintwork
matched by magnificent fabrics and unique antiques collected by the owners over their
travels. Some suites have rare original paintings from the 18th century Italian and English
art schools, while others offer a small balcony or terrace overlooking Chelsea.
