History
The hotel opened as The Carlton Tower on 5 January 1961 and was originally managed by Hotel Corporation of America. It passed through Sonesta, Lex Hotels, Proteus Hotels, and Hyatt before Jumeirah took over in December 2001, when it became Jumeirah Carlton Tower. The property closed in September 2019 for a £100 million renovation and reopened in July 2021 with the slightly revised branding The Carlton Tower Jumeirah. It is now one of Jumeirah’s London flagship hotels in Knightsbridge, known for its premium club-and-spa offering and refined dining.[The Carlton Tower Jumeirah - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumeirah_Carlton_Tower), [Jumeirah Carlton Tower](https://www.jumeirah.com/en/stay/london/jumeirah-carlton-tower)
The setting
The Carlton Tower Jumeirah rises at 1 Cadogan Place in Knightsbridge, at the northern edge of the Cadogan Estate — a quarter shaped by architect Henry Holland from the 1770s and owned by the Cadogan family without interruption since 1717. Sloane Street, with its constellation of global luxury flagships from Hermès to Brunello Cucinelli, begins immediately to the west. Hyde Park is eight minutes on foot, and the Victoria and Albert Museum eighteen. The hotel's position at the intersection of Knightsbridge and Belgravia has drawn international clientele since the Carlton Tower opened in 1961, making this block one of London's most consistently desirable luxury addresses. 1.1 miles from Buckingham Palace.
