Rosewood unveils details of second London hotel
Rosewood Hotels and Resorts announced the latest plans for the brand’s second London property, set to open in 2024 in Mayfair.
The Chancery Rosewood is in partnership with rreal estate developer Qatari Diar.
The hotel will showcase architecture restoration by British firm David Chipperfield Architects and interiors by French architect Joseph Dirand.
"We are proud to have The Chancery Rosewood lead the transformation of the revitalised Grosvenor Square, an incredible public interest initiative that is nearly a decade in the making," said Sonia Cheng, Chief Executive of Rosewood Hotel Group.
The Chancery Rosewood’s name pays homage to the building’s past. Originally built by architect Eero Saarinen in 1960, the mid-twentieth century Mayfair landmark previously housed the United States embassy and was the first purpose-built chancery in London.
It is slated to be both the first five-star hotel and first U.K. hotel to ever receive a BREEAM outstanding rating for sustainable development.
The Chancery Rosewood will have 139 guestrooms and suites, as well as revitalised public spaces and dining venues designed by Tristan Auer and Bar Studio.
Additional amenities include a wellness facility, five retail outlets and a selection of meeting and events spaces including a 750-guest ballroom.
The hotel will mark Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ second property in London and sixth in Europe.
