The renovated Belmont Cadogan Hotel retains the decoration style of Queen Anne. Enter the hotel from the gate of Si Long Street, pass the fireplace, walk up the wide stairs, cross the copper bookshelf with 600 books, and enter the guest room. There are only 54 rooms, equipped with traditional fireplaces. Handmade bars serve cocktails and tea, and are equipped with traditional hand-woven teapot insulation covers. It is like a real British mansion, with more than 400 works of art, most of which are masterpieces of British artists, including a painting by Simon Carson hanging in the hotel lobby. There is also a private library in the guest room, where guests can book their favorite books in advance and attend a series of literary salons.
