Rosewood is one of the most prestigious five-star hotels in London that blends English heritage with contemporary sophistication. The Edwardian Grade II-listed building designed by H. Percy Monckton, built in 1912 has been carefully renovated from Imperial Era offices to a luxury hotel.
“Overlooking High Holborn, the Chairman’s Boardrooms offer a stately, eye-catching location for lunch, dinner or board meetings for up to 16 people. The heritage spaces showcase original architectural features including carefully preserved French Walnut- and Cuban Mahogany-paneled fireplaces. Offering an air of early 20th-century refinement, all three rooms possess a distinct character and identity.”
The Lanesborough hotel, Hyde Park Corner, Knightsbridge, central London. The building was originally a hospital and is now reputedly one of the most elegant hotels in London. It is in neoclassical style and is listed as Grade II*. The hotel is located on Hyde Park Corner, next to the tube station.
The gatherings are usually held in St George’s room. St George’s room in the Lanesborough is adorned with three original Georgian windows framing views of a much-loved London landmark, the Wellington Arch.
Wellington Arch, also known as Constitution Arch or (originally) the Green Park Arch, is located to the south of Hyde Park in central London and at the western corner of Green Park (although it is now isolated on a traffic island). Built nearby between 1826 and 1830 to a design by Decimus Burton, it was moved to its present position in 1882–83.
The Shangri-La hotel, occupying 18 floors of The Shard, an architectural icon and Western Europe’s tallest building, starts on level 34, providing unparalleled panoramic views of London’s skyline and it’s most famous landmarks, such as St Paul’s Cathedral, Shakespeare’s Globe and the River Thames.
