About Rosewood London
Rosewood London occupies a magnificent Edwardian Belle Époque building on High Holborn, combining grand architectural drama with warm, residential-style luxury. The hotel's entrance through a grand stone archway into an internal courtyard sets the tone for a stay that feels both grand and intimate. The interiors blend English heritage with contemporary flair.
Scarfes Bar — named after the caricaturist Gerald Scarfe — is one of London's finest cocktail bars, with his original artworks adorning the walls of a gentleman's club-style room. The Holborn Dining Room serves outstanding British cuisine, including what many consider the best pie in London. The Mirror Room offers an elegant afternoon tea. The hotel's Holborn location is superbly central, with Covent Garden, the West End theatres and the British Museum all within walking distance.

“Rosewood is spectacular. The entrance through the archway into the courtyard is breathtaking. Scarfes Bar is the best cocktail bar I've been to — the Gerald Scarfe artwork is brilliant. We walked to the theatre in ten minutes.”
