‘Slow and easy’ might well be the motto of MyHotels. Though it launched in 1999, the UK-based group has only just added a third hotel in Chelsea to its small stable of boutique properties in Bloomsbury and Brighton.

The newcomer is an especially handsome charmer. Inspired by Chelsea’s gardens and famous annual flower show, Design Haus Liberty has infused the interiors of a well-preserved Victorian pile with a distinctive botanical mood. The conservatory’s white ribbed panels, white oak flooring, bronze highlights and dark low-set, almost black, furniture alongside lush tropical plants form a striking, masculine backdrop for the dark blue walls, dew-drop pendant lights, hexagonal concrete tiles and mirrors in the 51 bedrooms.

The natural theme is reinforced with beehives in the rooftop garden, and a raw food menu of fresh juices, and tempting treats like a tiramisu cheesecake that is vegan, gluten and sugar-free. An LMS Wellness outpost, meanwhile, delivers facials and massages.

A room in the MyChelsea hotel. Deep blue and white walls, with plant art in golden frames hanging above the bed. The bed is covered in white linen, with a beige headboard, and a wooden board that serves as a night table, that has plants on it. The mirror covers the right wall.

Dining area in the MyChelsea hotel. To the right, we have black chairs, with white marble tables with glasses and cutlery on them. The floor is of light wood, while the wall behind the tables is black. On the left, we see a golden and white countertop with vases on it, and a board-like white wall behind it.
