Hotelier Costes To Bring French Chic to Sloane Square

Mastermind of curating experience and desire, French hotelier Jean-Louis Costes is bringing his iconic Hotel Costes to London’s Sloane Square with a 40 bedroom hotel in partnership with Cadogan estate, later this year.

Hotel Costes is famous for its holistic sway in tastemaking and designing experiences, from retail to dining to curating art (the Paris hub boasts concerts halls, galleries, perfume and clothing boutiques, and even a rose shop – keeping the romantic Parisienne tradition alive). The hotel, which will spread out over a small block of flats on Sloane Gardens, will feature just 40 rooms, as well as a bar and restaurant – making it a hidden destination point that is as opulent as it is clandestine.

Costes is well known for creating the Hotel Costes on the Rue Saint-Honaré, long appreciated for its coaxing aesthetic, plush and sensual and riddled with all sorts of implied fantasy and desire (one need look no further than the delayed-exposure press photos of the hotel’s many features that are scattered about its website). Costes also operates two restaurants: L’Avenue on Avenue Montaigne and Costes Le Restaurant. The hotel is scheduled to open some time in 2016, although the details are (probably intentionally) tucked away from the public and press for now.
