Fodor's Expert Review Rosewood London

252 High Holborn, London, Greater London, WC1V 7EN, England Fodor's Choice

Exuding an understated grandeur, this luxurious hotel is a relaxing, indulgent sanctuary in the heart of the city. The impressive lobby, with its black-and-white marble floor and its ground-to-ceiling glass cabinets of curiosities, sets the tone for this decadent yet playful destination. Elegant decor and furnishings abound and guest rooms are well appointed with large comfortable beds. The brasserie-style Holborn Dining Room wins plaudits for its Modern British food while Scarfes hotel bar is a seductively salubrious place for pre-or post-dinner drinks. And if after all that, you’re in need of some serious pampering, then there's always the wonderful Sense day spa in the basement.
