Rosewood London

About Rosewood London
Rosewood London occupies a Belle Epoque building of 1914 on High Holborn, built as the Pearl Assurance headquarters, and it is the rare London hotel with a courtyard: guests drive through a stone arch off the street into a private square, which solves the arrival problem every city wedding has.
Inside, the Grand Ballroom takes 200 for a reception with room for staging, a band and a proper dance floor, and the foyer outside it has a pair of staircases rising to a balcony that turns the entrance into the event.
Smaller counts use Sir George, reached by the Grand Marble Staircase cut from a single block of Italian marble, or the Mirror Room.
The kitchen builds menus rather than selling packages and works with certified kosher and specialist South Asian caterers, which is why a good share of London’s multi-day weddings run here.

We had a great time at Rosewood. The check-in with Andrea was very smooth and welcoming, which made for a lovely start to our stay. Our room was nice and comfortable, and we felt at ease right away.

Questions about the venue
How many guests can Rosewood London hold?+
The Grand Ballroom takes receptions of 150 to 200 with full staging and a dance floor. Sir George and the smaller rooms suit ceremonies and dinners from about 10 to 60, and the planning team confirms exact seated layouts per event.
Can we take the whole hotel?+
Rosewood London is not a buyout venue in the country-house sense, but event spaces are contracted exclusively and the hotel arranges group room blocks, so a large wedding can hold the ballroom, foyer and several rooms at once.
Does the hotel handle kosher and South Asian catering?+
Yes. The kitchen works with certified kosher caterers and specialist South Asian culinary teams, integrating them into the event rather than treating them as an outside supplier, and builds menus for each wedding rather than selling fixed packages.
Is there an outdoor space?+
The courtyard is the outdoor space, a private stone square off High Holborn used for arrivals and drinks. There are no gardens, so a Rosewood wedding is an indoor event with the building itself doing the work.
When is the best time to marry in London?+
The hotel works the same in any weather, so dates are driven by cost rather than climate.
How do guests get there from the airports?+
Heathrow is 45 to 60 minutes by car or about an hour on the Piccadilly line straight to Holborn station, two minutes’ walk away. Gatwick runs to St Pancras in half an hour, then five minutes by cab.
