Cheval Collection, the UK-based, award-winning hospitality company specializing in luxury serviced apartments, is expanding its branded residence offering with Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate, just two weeks after the launch of Cheval Residences Dubai Islands.
Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate is the branded residence business of UK flagship Cheval Collection, with further properties currently under negotiation. The launch comes hot on the heels of the unveiling of Cheval Residences Dubai Islands, the group’s first branded residences, which are expected to be completed in 2029. More residences and hotel apartments from the Cheval Collection brand are planned for the Middle East, in addition to Cheval Maison’s existing hotel apartments in Palm Jumeirah and Expo City in Dubai, and future offerings in Riyadh.
The Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate apartments, owned by APML Estate, are currently for sale.
Knightsbridge Gate, 55-93 Knightsbridge, London SW1 is a Grade II listed building in a prime location with a retained Edwardian facade. Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate consists of 15 carefully designed ultra-luxury apartments with 1 to 6 bedrooms, most with balconies and terraces. The property offers comprehensive services including 24-hour concierge and security, a reception area with a residents’ lounge and an outdoor terrace.
Owners also have access to a range of a la carte services, including a private chef, private trainer and personal assistant. While the apartments will benefit from Cheval Collection’s extensive luxury service experience, they will not be available for rental as part of the group’s wider portfolio.
Owners of Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate will be offered elite status within Cheval DISCOVERY, the group’s loyalty program in partnership with the Global Hotel Alliance, which offers discounts and rewards across all Cheval properties, and with more than 50 partners within the world’s largest alliance of independent hotels, resorts and residence brands.
Nick Pilbeam, Chief Commercial Officer at Cheval Collection, said: “We are delighted to announce our second branded residence with this exceptional property, so soon after our debut in the UAE with Cheval Residences Dubai Islands. We are proud to bring over 40 years of serviced apartment experience to Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate.
“The demand for luxury branded homes is growing globally and our expansion into this sector offers our loyal guests the opportunity to own their own Cheval Collection property, while also engaging a new audience looking for a high-quality, service-oriented residential offering, supported by an industry-leading loyalty program.
“Our existing Cheval Collection serviced apartments in London and Dubai are already popular with Middle Eastern guests, and we are confident that Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate will also attract the attention of potential buyers from the region.”
Cheval Collection’s expansion in the Middle East continues as the company explores new partnerships and locations for serviced hotel apartments and branded residences. Cheval Ladun Living will open in Riyadh next year, followed by Cheval Maison Sulaymaniyah, also in Riyadh, in 2028. The award-winning Cheval Maison – The Palm Dubai celebrated its three-year anniversary in April, while Cheval Maison – Expo City Dubai marked a successful year of business in March.
Mike Sadler, Director of APML Estate said: “The Cheval Collection name is synonymous with luxury, reflected in both the properties and the service it provides. We believe the timing is right to enter the branded residential sector and are delighted to support this move with such an exceptional property. The combination of this established brand and a remarkable development will create a strong appetite among potential owners and command a premium in London’s competitive luxury market.”
