Choosing a nearby hotel makes your wedding morning relaxed and allows plenty of time for beautiful getting-ready photographs.

Some of the best hotels within walking distance include:

• 11 Cadogan Gardens – elegant luxury suites with classic interiors.
• The Chelsea Townhouse – charming boutique hotel in a quiet Chelsea street.
• San Domenico House Hotel – luxurious Italian-inspired boutique hotel.
• Sydney House Chelsea – bright rooms perfect for bridal preparations.
• The Kensington Hotel – spacious luxury rooms ideal for larger wedding parties.
• The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel – one of London's finest luxury hotels, only minutes from the Town Hall.

I always recommend booking a suite rather than a standard room. Larger spaces provide better natural light, more room for hair and makeup artists, and elegant backgrounds for bridal portraits. Beautiful hotel getting ready pictures examples.
