The Chatwal Hotel (by Sant Chatwal)

“The most important thing to me when I check into a hotel room is the ability to feel relaxed and at home immediately. It may sound trite, but it’s so important to have a well-placed closet to hang my belongings up properly and to locate the safe without having to go through an assault course to find it. The leather-clad wardrobes at The Chatwal are something that truly can only be described as sensational. You feel as if you could live out of those wardrobes comfortably for a week or two, there is so much space. And the mini bar isn’t just your usual run-of-the-mill mini bar – it’s a carefully curated haven combining chrome cocktail shakers, Chatwal playing cards and chocolate by purveyors in Paris who used to cater to Marie Antoinette. That’s what’s important and special about The Chatwal – it caters to the high-end traveler by looking after all of those minute details at the end of the day make all the difference to those that stay with us.”
