Situated within one of London’s most prestigious neighborhoods, Sloan Stanley Estate in Chelsea spans more than 250 shops, maisonettes and homes, and is considered one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Dating back to 1717, Sloane Stanley Estate brings together a wide range of design, food, drink and wellness brands.

Luxury Shops

There’s something for everyone. White Coco is a women’s clothing and accessories store, particularly known for its beautiful cashmere pieces. At Chinti & Parker, you’ll find an array of bold, bright and modern styles loved by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Olivia Wilde and Alexa Chung.

Find women’s shoes and boots made of traditional Spanish craftsmanship at Penelope Chilvers, while Jeroboams showcases a diverse selection of Champagne, wines and spirits.

Good Eats

You won’t need to leave the area to find something tasty. Josephine is a cozy French restaurant serving dishes like beef fillet in peppercorn sauce, Cornish cod with shallot butter beurre blanc, duck in orange sauce with braised endive, and French rabbit with mustard and tarragon sauce. For hearty Italian-American dishes, Alley Cats boasts a range of craft pizzas like Tuna Bonito (tomato sauce, Ortiz Bonito del Norte tuna, aged mozzarella, kalamata olives, red onion and parsley) and Vodka Sauce (creamy tomato sauce, aged mozzarella and buffalo mozzarella).

Other eateries include My Old Dutch, the original London pancake house serving both savory and sweet pancakes like crispy bacon and spinach, The Biscoff, and the Amsterdammer. There’s also Fantômas, a modern European institution incorporating elements of Japanese flavors. Opt for lamb shoulder cavatelli, blue fin tuna carpaccio, pink bream or Kurobuta belly.

Lively Nightlife

Yes, Sloane Stanley Estate buzzes even into the night. Behind the Wardrobe Door lies Callooh Callay Chelsea, a cocktail bar with fun and inventive concoctions. The Lemon & Lychee Iced Tea includes Hendrick’s Gin, Italicus, lemon, lychee, earl grey and Schweppes soda; Apple-Pie-Tini mixes Baked Apple Belvedere vodka with buttery biscuit Regal Rogue vermouth; and Spicy Greens brings together Cazcabel Blanco tequila, mango chutney verdita fortified with El Tequileno tequila and lime. Or make it a Mexican-inspired night with a visit to Azteca, a cantina with a vast collection of tequila and mezcal.

Breathe in the View and Sip in the Moment in Puerto Vallarta

Mindful drinking with an eye on wellness can mean ordering a zero-proof or low ABV cocktail instead of one that’s boozy and stirred, or slowly savoring one glass of wine instead of tossing back two or three. But sometimes, where you’re sipping a beverage can have just as much of a positive effect on your mind, body and spirit as what’s in your glass.

Relais Villa Porta Review

Tucked into a Lake Maggiore enclave overlooking the Gulf of Colmegna, Relais Villa Porta is an idyllic place to take in a side of the Italian Lakes region that’s different from buzzy Lake Como during high season. In 1820, it was built as a hunting lodge, and by the end of the century, was transformed into an inn by Leopoldo Casnedi. Over time, the surrounding parkland was further enhanced with rare plants collected by Pietro Porta, its second owner and botanist, as well as regular guests wanting to support his efforts. This ensured the inn would ultimately sit pretty within a 10,000-square-meter park surrounding the main villa, a 19th-century Liberty-style greenhouse and original Villa Porta mosaic.
