The LaLee: Historically Inspired European Cuisine in London
Located in the heart of Chelsea, The LaLee pays tribute to Lillie Langtry. Until 1897, the famous British socialite lived in the building that would later become the Cadogan Hotel. She is considered one of the most legendary residents the hotel has ever accommodated. Her amazing, innovative style and her talent to perform is what motivated the Cadogan Hotel to launch a restaurant in her honor. Not only the menu pays tribute to Lillie Langtry’s exquisite taste. The interiors – amazingly designed cornicing and Langtry’s floral motif also remind of the restaurants muse.
