Fox Communications has been appointed to handle the UK public relations for London's Belmond Cadogan Hotel, an iconic destination where quintessential British charm effortlessly imbues a modern elegance.

Fox Communications will implement an integrated communications campaign across The Cadogan and its destination restaurant Adam Handling Chelsea. Primely positioned midway between Chelsea and Knightsbridge, The Cadogan is an intimate 'home' in the heart of the city where the past and present are entwined in every detail.

Director of Sales and Marketing, Stuart Shaw says: 'This year has been fraught with challenges, and it's integral we have a dynamic and well-connected agency partner as we embark on what we believe will be an exciting period, not just for the hotel, but for the hospitality industry as a whole. We are delighted to have Fox Communications as PR representatives for Belmond The Cadogan.'

Says Founder and MD of Fox Communications, Lysbeth Fox: “We are thrilled to be working with The Cadogan as their partners. We are looking forward to supporting this beautiful and iconic London hotel as we strive to support an anticipated and much-needed revival of travel in 2021 and beyond.”

Overlooking the private Cadogan Palace Gardens, a botanical haven to which guests have exclusive access, The Cadogan is steeped in history and has an illustrious list of past residents, including Lillie Langtry and Oscar Wilde – the room in which Oscar Wilde was arrested is now the noble Royal Suite. In the 54 individually designed rooms, two-thirds of which are suites, white-on-white linens are offset with vibrant pops of colour, silk and velvet, with captivating artwork and design details honouring the hotel's rich heritage.

Menus at The Cadogan are under the culinary direction of celebrated chef, Adam Handling. With classic architecture and an open kitchen, the main restaurant, Adam Handling Chelsea, is located in what once was Lillie Langtry's drawing room. Seasonal, sustainably sourced ingredients are used throughout the menu of re-imagined British classics, showcasing Adam Handling's daringly modern flair and dedication to sustainability. An adjacent bar and terrace serve-up a selection of spirits, wine and British cocktails, while Cadogan's by Adam Handling offers light lunches, evening drinks and a spectacular afternoon tea, inspired by wistful childhood memories.

About Adam Handling Chelsea

Adam Handling's culinary journey started at Gleneagles where he was the first ever trainee chef, before he went on to become Fairmont's youngest ever Head Chef, culminating in winning Scottish Young Chef of the Year 2011. At the 2013 Acorn Awards, he was the youngest person to be tipped by the Caterer magazine as one of the '30 under 30 to watch'. A highly accomplished chef, Adam Handling's beautifully presented modern British dishes start with careful sourcing of top quality, seasonal ingredients, prepared in a number of different, creative ways to enhance their inherent properties and deliver real depth of flavour and harmony whilst maintaining a firm commitment to sustainability.

Adam has since been awarded Scottish Chef of the Year 2015, Newcomer Restaurant of the Year in the Food and Travel Reader Awards 2015, as well as the British Culinary Federation's Chef of the Year 2014. More recently, Adam has been named 'Chef of The Year' in the 2019 Food & Travel Reader Awards and 'Best Restaurateur' at the 2020 GQ Food & Drink Awards.

In February 2019, Adam Handling was appointed Chef Patron of the Belmond Cadogan Hotel in Chelsea, London. The main restaurant, Adam Handling Chelsea, and the accompanying Bar and Terrace, serves exquisite Modern British cuisine that takes inspiration from the international culinary flavours that can be found in London, and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner year-round.
