Sydenham Holidays from AU$3,036

Lovely modern hotel

The Rosewood London is a masterclass in luxury. From the moment you enter the stunning courtyard patio, you are met with an atmosphere that is both grand and intimate. Located in an ideal part of town, it provides seamless access to vibrant areas like Soho while remaining a sophisticated sanctuary. The Rooms & Service Service here is impeccable—proactive and warm across every department. The rooms are generously spacious and designed for genuine comfort, offering a retreat with a level of character that modern luxury hotels often lack. Dining Flexibility I appreciated having two distinct breakfast options. The standard included choice (buffet plus a la carte) is good but not great. However, breakfast in the Mirror Room is outstanding. While it comes at a higher price, the quality and service are world-class and well worth the upgrade for a special morning. Scarfes Bar Scarfes Bar is a destination in its own right. Ranked 34th in the world, it lives up to its reputation with creative cocktails and phenomenal live music every night. It adds a vibrant energy to the property that makes the stay truly memorable. Verdict The Rosewood delivers exactly what a 5-star hotel should: effortless charm, spacious comfort, and unique amenities. Whether for the music at Scarfes or the quiet luxury of the rooms, it is easily one of the finest stays in London.

The Dorchester is one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. The property is beautiful, the staff was very attentive, and the room was clean and comfortable.

I loved the hotel. Room was decently-sized, with beautiful period details, and a very spacious bathroom. It felt like a refined boutique hotel, at a decent rate (though I booked 3 months in advance). Breakfast was fantastic (worth buying a rate that includes it), and the staff super helpful and friendly. Great location, very walkable, and close to lots of public transport. The internet was not super fast, but I was able to work and stream video without any issues. And the gym is just a small room with a treadmill and two bikes. Still, I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone in London for business or pleasure.

Walking distance to main streets. Quiet area.
