Rosewood London - London

This stunningly grand, Grade II-listed building situated on the historic thoroughfare of High Holborn carries its Edwardian façade with style.

As you approach the magnificent street frontage through wrought iron gates, you are transported back in history to an era of grand opulence. From the central carriageway and into a peaceful inner courtyard away from the bustle of London, you enter the hotel through a rose bronze gallery and into the rich and luxurious lobby. Featuring black and white mosaic flooring, gilded glass partitions filled to the brim with quirky art and books, and stunning oak armoires, the ambience is more in keeping with a historic London residence than a hotel. You can expect the Rosewood to adapt to the hour of day - by evening, a glowing fire pit will greet you at the entrance, while soothing music, lighting and scented candles set the mood for relaxation.

The upper floors can be reached by the century-old, dramatic Italian Grand Pavonazzo marble staircase. Each guest room is decorated to the highest standards, using the finest materials. You can enjoy the Geneva Sound System with iPod and iPod docking station, sleep within Rivolta Carmignani Italian linens and bathe in Czech & Speake toiletries.

Nods to Britain and British culture subtly permeate the Rosewood – from the whimsical British bulldog artwork, to the dedication to British cuisine evident in its dining options. In the elegant surroundings of the Mirror Room, tuck into the quintessential British Afternoon Tea, or a selection of delicious sharing plates, seasonal salads, comfort food favourites and signature patisseries. Recreating the lush greenery of a traditional English garden – The Terrace offers meals and drinks reflecting the British seasons, in a cosy al fresco setting. Or nibble on a range of appetising snacks in the buzzing Scarfes Bar, where work by famed English caricaturist Gerald Scarfe, adorns the walls.

Sense®, A Rosewood Spa is a restorative, tranquil hideaway, using Maison Caulières, EviDens de Beaute and Face Place products to relax and soothe. Bamboo walls, soft lighting and wooden walkways over rippling water and pebble stones lead you to seven treatment rooms where you can indulge an aromatic facial or a salt therapy back massage that eases stress and tension in the mind and body.

Positioned in between Holborn and Chancery Lane tube station, London’s main attractions are very accessible. A short walk away is the River Thames, the Royal Opera House as well as Covent Garden for all your shopping needs.
