Rosewood London occupies a former Pearl Assurance headquarters on High Holborn, positioned between Covent Garden and the City of London and a short walk from Holborn underground station. The Edwardian Belle Époque building, completed in 1914, retains its grand courtyard entrance and ornate stonework, now paired with contemporary interiors that give the hotel a residential, understated feel compared to some of London's more traditional grand properties. Rooms include Deluxe Rooms and Manor Rooms, Junior Suites, Garden House Suites set within a converted mews, and the Presidential Suite. Dining centres on Holborn Dining Room, a large brasserie known for its pie room and extensive gin selection, alongside Scarfes Bar, which hosts live jazz and displays original caricatures. The hotel does not have a pool but offers Sense, A Rosewood Spa, with a range of treatments, plus a fitness centre. Service caters to both business travellers working in nearby legal and City institutions and leisure guests, with a dedicated concierge and the hotel's landscaped courtyard offering a quiet space rarely found in this part of London.
