Wheathampstead 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.

We spent three nights at this hotel. The location is excellent and the employees were warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, our room did not meet our expectations. It was very small (not unusual in London), but we had to take turns walking through the room as the space was so narrow. The bathroom was terrible: cramped and outdated with rust stained grout on the floor which made it look dirty. The bathtub was in need of re-glazing and there was absolutely no ventilation. Everything in the bathroom, including toilet paper and tissues, was always damp. For the price point, we were very disappointed. There was also an optional service fee of £15 per day which was not disclosed until we checked out. We already tipped housekeeping and the bellman in cash so we had the service fee removed. We didn’t use the restaurant so I cannot comment on that.

Walking distance to main streets. Quiet area.
