/ About

Housed in a former Pearl Assurance building on High Holborn, Rosewood London sits behind a Belle Époque facade and a grand courtyard, within reach of Covent Garden and the West End. The hotel keeps eleven event spaces across its ground and lower floors, from the Grand Ballroom to a series of intimate salons and private dining rooms.

The Grand Ballroom is reached by two dramatic staircases from the lobby and opens onto a foyer and five adjoining Salons, allowing a single celebration to flow across rooms or break into smaller settings. For private dining, the Mirror Room offers a polished, mirrored salon, while Scarfes Bar, hung with Gerald Scarfe's caricatures and lined with antique books and velvet, is among London's most characterful cocktail bars and a natural home for late receptions.

With an in-house events team and refined catering, the spaces span grand to intimate, and the Salons in particular suit DJ-led private dinners that want flexibility within a single elegant floor.
