Wallpaper* — Travel announced on April 2, 2026, the reimagining of Willett’s, The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel's restaurant. The transformation features lush interiors and a seasonal menu, designed by Studio Shayne Brady, to evoke the tranquility of an English garden.

Our take: The Cadogan, a Knightsbridge landmark, has long sought to distinguish its F&B offerings beyond the typical hotel restaurant. This latest iteration, with its overt design narrative and focus on seasonality, suggests a more confident culinary identity. We'll be watching to see if Willett's can truly blossom into a destination restaurant rather than merely a hotel amenity, especially given London's fiercely competitive dining scene.
