Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to launch a new outpost in London’s picturesque Grosvenor Square within the structure that currently operates as the U.S. Embassy. The second London property in the Rosewood portfolio and its sixth in Europe, the Grosvenor Square location will receive its design from British architect David Chipperfield, who will reimagine the mid-20th century building with elegant interior upgrades.
“We are thrilled to embark on this exciting new venture, which will bring new life to this iconic building. The prestigious Mayfair neighborhood embodies elegance, culture, and sophistication, making it the ideal location for Rosewood’s second property in London,” says Sonia Cheng, CEO of Rosewood Hotel Group. “As one of Europe’s most coveted travel destinations, London strikes a special balance between the historical charms of the past and the contemporary comforts of the present, catering to a multitude of experiences that often cannot be found in one place. We look forward to providing guests with a property that is equally as captivating, and that will serve as a backdrop for the rich and authentic adventures that the city affords.”
In addition to 137 spacious guestrooms and suites, the hotel will house an assortment of dining and entertainment spaces, including a signature spa, five gourmet restaurants, and six retail flagships. A grand ballroom suitable for up to 1,000 guests will also be created.
