Rosewood London

My wife and I chose to stay at Rosewood London for a long weekend, and we had an amazing experience. The rooms and service are top notch, and the hotel is conveniently located right next to the Holborn Underground station, which connects to two lines that can get you to almost everything in the city (including Kings Cross and Heathrow). Another huge benefit is the hotel has a guest-only entrance to their on-site bar, Scarfes. It is one of the top bars in the world, and there is a queue for non-guests every night. We went twice and were given a table immediately without waiting - such a great amenity! We will absolutely choose Rosewood the next time we come to London, and I couldn’t recommend it more as it’s an amazing place to relax after a long day exploring the city.

I stayed at the Rosewood for six nights, at nearly £1,000 per night. The room itself was luxurious and very comfortable, the lobby was beautiful, and housekeeping was meticulous. However, my overall experience was mediocre for a five-star hotel, with nothing truly exceptional to mention. I did not receive a warm welcome from the staff at the entrance or at reception. There was no small talk, no sense of hospitality—overall, a very bland experience. I am from Qatar and wear a headscarf. On several occasions, staff members spoke directly to my husband without acknowledging me or even making eye contact. This felt strange and uncomfortable. I am unsure whether they assumed it was inappropriate to address me directly or assumed I could not speak English. Either way, it was disappointing. I travel frequently to Europe and the United States, and I have never experienced this kind of treatment before. Breakfast was also mediocre. The buffet was only available on weekends, while weekdays offered a set menu with very limited options. Overall, while the hotel is visually impressive and well maintained, the experience itself felt average and did not meet the expectations of a true five-star hotel.

My stay at Rosewood London was absolutely exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff provided a warm welcome and outstanding service, reflecting the hotel’s world-class standards. The lobby is stunning — elegant, spacious, and filled with soft lighting that creates a sense of calm luxury. The room was beautifully designed, with a plush bed, elegant furnishings, and a marble bathroom stocked with high-end amenities. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged for maximum comfort. Despite being in the heart of London, the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, perfect for rest after a busy day exploring the city. Breakfast at the Mirror Room was a highlight — fresh ingredients, a great selection of dishes, and attentive service in a refined setting. Overall, Rosewood London offers the perfect balance of British charm and modern sophistication. It’s ideal for those seeking luxury, comfort, and impeccable hospitality. I would absolutely stay here again. 🌹✨

I celebrated my 50th birthday here over the weekend. Stayed in family room with two kids. As always, it´s about the people. The kids were made comfortable and entertained, excellent advice from the concierge and a slight misunderstanding regarding payment for breakfast was solved without hesitation by the front desk. A true five star experience.

Afternoon tea at the Rosewood London was outstanding. The setting is beautiful, the food is thoughtful and delicious, and the whole experience feels special from the moment you sit down. What stood out most was the staff, who were exceptional in every way, warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They made the entire service feel effortless and refined. A perfect afternoon and truly one of the best tea experiences in London.
