Cast of Made in Chelsea

Just in time for season five of Made in Chelsea, which returned to our screens this week, hotel search website www.trivago.co.uk is celebrating all things Chelsea with a list of its favourite luxury hotels.

From the very location of Hugo’s famous hotel party in season three to magnificent townhouses containing stylish bars and bistros, these lavish hotels promise a typically Chelsea experience.

In prestigious locations such as Queen’s Gate, Sloane Street and Cadogan Gardens, these are the perfect hangouts for encountering our favourite Chelsea socialites. 

The Gore, 190 Queen’s Gate

Remember in season three when Hugo contrived a meeting between Millie and Rosie, forcing them to make amends and leading to their rekindled friendship during series four? This awkward encounter occurred in the Tapestry Room of The Gore, one of London’s most photographed and most romantic hotels.

Welcoming guests since 1892, The Gore describes itself as a quintessentially British hotel, offering character and charm in its luxurious furnishings.

The hotel is located on the desirable Queen’s Gate and boasts the popular Bar 190, famously home to the Rolling Stones album launch back in 1968. This lively bar, together with the stylish Bistro One Ninety, makes The Gore a regular haunt amongst Chelsea residents.

Rooms available from £169 via trivago

Taj Suites and Residences, 51 Buckingham Gate

In Season Three Hugo threw a lavish party in the 51 Buckingham Gate Taj Suites and Residences, where Spencer took Louise into one of the luxurious bathrooms to try and win her affections. Louise chose Jamie this night, before changing her mind in Dubai the following week.

The five star all-suite hotel boasts a total of 86 contemporary suites, some containing up to nine bedrooms and fully supplied kitchens. The 1,832 square ft Jaguar Suite is the perfect bachelor’s pad, a tribute to the car’s iconic style with exclusive artwork, sleek wood panelling and the finest leather furnishings.
