Rosewood London
Holborn; London, United Kingdom
Rosewood London brings a residential interpretation of luxury to a grand heritage building on High Holborn. The approach through an enclosed courtyard creates a sense of arrival distinct from the busy street, while the accommodation draws on the language of an English manor house. Rooms, suites and larger houses offer several scales of stay. The food and drink have a particularly strong local identity. Holborn Dining Room takes the form of a lively British brasserie, and The Pie Room gives a familiar dish unusual attention through intricate pastry work and hands-on classes. Scarfes Bar provides the contrasting pleasure of cocktails in a characterful setting. Art also has a place in the hotel's public life through exhibitions and cultural experiences. Rosewood is particularly useful for travellers who prefer Holborn's position between the West End and the City to a Mayfair address. Its appeal lies in combining the comfort of a substantial hotel with approachable British food, creative detail and a more residential atmosphere.
