As one of London’s best-kept secrets, Rosewood London is tucked away from the bustle of High Holborn, at a point where the City meets the West End. A carriageway entrance leads through wrought-iron gates, revealing an Edwardian Grade-II listed building wrapped around a grand courtyard. Striving to be more a private residence than a hotel, Rosewood London has a striking sense of place. Gradually restored to showcase its architectural splendour, Rosewood London is famously home to the iconic Italian Grand Pavonazzo marble staircase, which leads to all the upper floors beneath the hotel’s beautiful cupola. Guests are even greeted by the pet-friendly hotel’s resident pooch, Pearl the retriever. For those that want a great taste of British cuisine, Rosewood London has more than 200 pies made daily in their Holborn Dining Room, and were recently voted the Best Contemporary Afternoon Tea in the UK in 2017. In the early evening, sample a creative cocktail from the characterful Scarfes Bar; decorated with conversation-provoking paintings by renowned British artist and namesake, Gerald Scarfe, there’s plenty to hold your interest. But if a touch of zen is what you seek, discover Sense, A Rosewood Spa, for all your pampering needs.
