London's Latest Luxury Hotel: The Chancery Rosewood Opens in Mayfair
The Chancery Rosewood, London's latest luxury hotel, has opened its doors in Mayfair. The former US Embassy on Grosvenor Square, it offers a restrained revamp with iconic features like the golden eagle statue. The hotel boasts a collection of dining venues, including Serra, an American Italian restaurant, and Tobi Masa, a Japanese sushi restaurant. Rooms start at £1,600 per night, with the hotel reaching capacity on some nights.
Serra, one of the hotel's restaurants, specialises in 'south Mediterranean' cuisine. Diners can enjoy dishes like punchy taramasalata and Middle Eastern bean stew in a setting featuring emerald green banquettes and mid-century wooden tables. The kitchen is lined with an array of pots and pans, adding to the dining experience.
The Chancery Rosewood joins other high-profile luxury hotels that have recently opened in London, such as The Emory, The Peninsula, and The OWO. It offers guests a unique experience with its former embassy history. The Eagle Bar on the 7th floor provides a terrace with warming fires and decent cocktails, allowing guests to connect with the building's past.
The Chancery Rosewood, with its blend of luxury, history, and diverse dining options, has become a notable addition to London's high-end hospitality scene. Its success, as indicated by the hotel reaching capacity on some nights, reflects the demand for unique and high-quality experiences in the city.
