History
Originally built in 1870 the town houses on Queens Gate have seen over 150 years of change to the Borough of Chelsea and Kensington. The building boasts a colourful past including being used as a hospital in the 1960s. A private hotel was first established on the site as early as 1908. In 1974 the building was reinvigorated and officially opened as The Regency Hotel.
The building was renovated by Agenda 21 Architects Studio Ltd and finished by Jan 2013. The project included full refurbishment of the existing hotel to new interior design, including full remodeling of the guest rooms, bathrooms and reception areas. Done in several phases in order to retain operation.[3]
The hotel has been listed as a Grade II building since 15 Apr 1969.[4]
