Cheval Collection Launches Knightsbridge Gate Branded Residences

DUBAI, UAE – Cheval Collection, the UK-based, award-winning hospitality company specialising in luxury serviced apartments, is expanding its branded residences portfolio with the launch of Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate, just two weeks after unveiling Cheval Residences Dubai Islands.

The new London development marks the UK flagship for Cheval Collection’s branded residences business, with further properties currently under negotiation as the company accelerates its expansion across key global markets.

Expanding a growing branded residences portfolio

The launch follows the recent introduction of Cheval Residences Dubai Islands, the group’s first branded residences project, scheduled for completion in 2029. The company is also planning additional branded residences and hotel apartment offerings across the Middle East, building on its existing presence at Palm Jumeirah and Expo City Dubai, alongside upcoming developments in Riyadh.

Located at 55–93 Knightsbridge, London SW1, Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate is a Grade II-listed building set within one of the capital’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, retaining its historic Edwardian façade.

Owned by APML Estate, the development comprises 15 ultra-luxury apartments, ranging from one- to six-bedroom residences, many featuring balconies and terraces.

Ultra-luxury living with service-led offering

The property offers a comprehensive suite of services, including 24-hour concierge and security, a reception area with residents’ lounge, and an outdoor terrace.

Residents will also have access to a range of à la carte services, including a private chef, personal trainer and personal assistant, reflecting Cheval Collection’s established expertise in luxury hospitality.

While the apartments benefit from the group’s service standards, they will not be available for rental within Cheval Collection’s broader portfolio, positioning them as exclusive owner-occupied residences.

Owners will also receive elite status within Cheval DISCOVERY, the company’s loyalty programme in partnership with the Global Hotel Alliance, offering access to benefits and rewards across Cheval properties and more than 50 partner brands worldwide.

Nick Pilbeam, Chief Commercial Officer at Cheval Collection, said:

“We are thrilled to announce our second branded residence with this exceptional property so soon after debuting in the UAE with Cheval Residences Dubai Islands. We are proud to bring more than 40 years of experience in serviced apartments to Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate.

“Demand for luxury branded residences is growing globally and our expansion into this sector offers our loyal guests the opportunity to own their own Cheval Collection property, while also appealing to new audiences seeking a high-quality, service-led residential offering, supported by an industry-leading loyalty programme.

“Our existing Cheval Collection serviced apartments across London and Dubai are already popular with guests from the Middle East, and we are confident that Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate will also capture the attention of potential buyers from the region.”

Strengthening presence in the Middle East

Cheval Collection continues to expand its footprint in the Middle East, exploring new partnerships and locations for serviced apartments and branded residences.

Upcoming projects include Cheval Ladun Living in Riyadh, set to open next year, followed by Cheval Maison Sulaymaniyah in 2028. The group’s existing properties, including Cheval Maison – The Palm Dubai and Cheval Maison – Expo City Dubai, have also demonstrated strong performance and sustained demand.

Mike Sadler, Director at APML Estate, said:

“The Cheval Collection name is synonymous with luxury, reflected in both its properties and the service it delivers. We believe the timing is right to enter the branded residences sector and are delighted to support this move with such an exceptional property. The combination of this established brand and a remarkable development will generate strong appetite from prospective owners and command a premium in London’s competitive luxury market.”

The launch of Cheval Residences Knightsbridge Gate underscores the continued global growth of the branded residences sector, driven by increasing demand for high-quality, service-led residential offerings in prime urban locations.
