Accommodation
Classic Room
The entry point to Rosewood London’s room collection, Classic Rooms deliver the hotel’s signature blend of residential warmth and refined detail in a well-proportioned space for two. Thoughtfully designed by Tony Chi and Associates, each room balances understated elegance with genuine comfort, with carefully considered furnishings and natural light making the most of the available space in the heart of Holborn.
Executive Room
A step up in both space and sophistication, these versatile accommodations reflect the building’s transition from diplomatic hub to luxury hotel. The flexible bedding configurations – king or twin – speak to the international clientele that once walked these halls, while contemporary London charm permeates every detail from custom millwork to carefully curated artwork, comfortably hosting up to three guests.
Family Room
Purpose-built for the modern traveling family, these ingeniously designed spaces feature dual double beds arranged in various configurations that would make even the most seasoned diplomat appreciate their efficiency. The extra square footage allows for comfortable movement and storage in accommodations for up to four guests.
Grand Executive Room
Positioned to capture either the bustling energy of Holborn’s legal district or the serene calm of the hotel’s private courtyard, these light-drenched rooms offer a choice of urban theater or peaceful retreat. The “Grand” designation reflects not just increased space but elevated finishes and amenities that bridge the gap between standard accommodation and suite-level luxury for three guests.
Grand Premier Room
Here, the building’s Belle Époque bones truly shine through contemporary interpretation, creating bright living spaces that feel more like a sophisticated London pied-à-terre than a hotel room. These accommodations represent the sweet spot where residential comfort meets hotel service, offering generous proportions and refined details for up to three guests seeking a luxurious London base.

Wellness
Sense, A Rosewood Spa offers a tranquil escape from city life, with a sauna, relaxation lounge and treatment rooms delivering signature rituals including the British Rose Body Massage, inspired by Victorian botanicals. Face Place, the celebrated West Hollywood skincare clinic, brings 45 years of A-list expertise to the space.

Experience
Rosewood London’s experiences programme spans the theatrical and the unexpected. Signature offerings include Tally-Ho! vintage bike tours through the city’s landmarks, a street art tour taking in East End murals and Banksy’s Leake Street Tunnel, and exclusive after-hours access to the Tower of London’s 700-year Ceremony of the Keys. Frieze Art Fair packages add private tours, VIP tickets and chauffeured transport for culture-focused guests.
England
England runs on Greenwich Mean Time, shifting to British Summer Time, one hour ahead, between late March and late October. The country is compact enough that no domestic journey is particularly arduous: London to Bath takes ninety minutes by train, London to York is two hours, London to Manchester just over two.
Our Experts
England is a great destination solely for the diversity of its experiences. You can visit ancient castles, or modern art galleries. Enjoy swanky bars on a Saturday night, or wholesome country pubs on a Sunday afternoon.
England has a quaint, idyllic feel to it that you really have to experience to understand. The lush green of the countryside is a must-see for nature lovers.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

World War II Tour of Europe: London, Normandy, Berlin & Krakow
Tailor-made HolidayThis route follows the war's actual turning points, London's underground command centre, the beaches where the Allies broke through, the capital of the regime being fought, and the site of its worst crime, in something close to chronological order. Four stops, each one a different piece of how the war was run, fought, caused, and ultimately answered for.

Luxury English Country House Tour for LGBTQ+ Travellers
Tailor-made HolidayThe English country house is one of the great inventions of British civilisation. For three centuries these estates shaped the landscape, defined a way of life, and played host to the kind of private world that rarely made it into the history books. What did make it in tells a more interesting story than the official version suggests.

LGBTQ+ Theatre Trip to London: West End Shows, Soho & Stratford
Tailor-made HolidayNo country on earth does theatre quite like the United Kingdom. From the West End stages that have shaped global popular culture to the small, radical fringe venues where the next generation of writers and performers are redefining what theatre can be, Britain's relationship with live performance runs deeper than anywhere else. It is the country that gave the world Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
