Belmond Cadogan Hotel: The 54-room impossibly elegant space reopened on February 28, 2019 after an extensive renovation.

Bottoms up: The inviting bar resembles a posh early 20th century English watering hole.

Open to the public: Creating generous, spacious areas for hotel guests and locals was a priority in the makeover.

The room where it happened: Wilde was taken into custody in room 118, accused of "committing acts of gross indecency with other male persons."

Modern luxury: Belmond wanted to keep the hotel's charm in its update. The effect is old-world luxury.

Updated luxury: The suite is filled with books by and about the celebrity author and has a bay window in front of the large bathtub in the bathroom with a view overlooking the corner of Pont and Sloane Streets.

Royal Suite: The Cadogan's most prestigious accommodation is a splurge at $7,900 a night.

A most British property: Chef Adam Handling's kitchen puts out traditional British cuisine with a modern twist — he only uses British produce in the dishes.
