Having opened its doors in the latter half of last year, The Chancery Rosewood is a case study in reinvention. Formerly the US Embassy in London, this Grade II-listed property, designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen in 1960, has been reimagined for a new generation through the eyes of British architect Sir David Chipperfield. The result? A property that perfectly marries British heritage with modernity, with true gravitas in an unmatched location in the UK capital.
Located in the opulent London neighbourhood of Mayfair, The Chancery Rosewood comes as part of the wider strategic facelift of the popular Grosvenor Square area. It’s all about location, location, location.
With an exquisite mid-century façade, the inside of The Chancery Rosewood brings a softer, more subdued feeling. Its 144 suites feature a palette of warm tones and sculptural minimalism, with added gold accents designed by French architect Joseph Dirand. Floor-to-ceiling windows in each room flood spaces with natural light, further highlighting the property’s contemporary design.
In true Rosewood fashion, hospitality has been reimagined with a sense of ease that feels both progressive and deeply personal. Guests are greeted directly and taken to their suites with no check-in desks in sight. Flexible arrival and departure times make for a seamless guest experience, paired with a house car, private butlers and signature suites, bringing luxury shaped by intuition to the forefront.
The culinary offering at The Chancery Rosewood is also unmatched, with a collection of restaurants that take you all over the globe within the one property. One of its most prolific and exciting offerings is Carbone, the first European outpost of the famed New York eatery. There’s also Serra, which captures the sun-drenched soul of southern Italy and Greece, while Tobi Masa marks chef Masayoshi Takayama’s London debut, infusing Japanese precision with understated drama.
Art also takes centre stage at The Chancery Rosewood. With over 700 pieces selected by London-based art consultancy Cramer & Bell, the property now houses the largest collection of any hotel in Europe. From pieces by Sir Christopher Le Brun to Sussy Cazalet’s tactile textiles in the entrance hall, you’ll be privy to a collection that rivals those of some of the best art galleries.
The Chancery Rosewood also gives you the opportunity to escape from one of the world’s busiest cities. Below ground, guests will discover the Asaya Spa, where science and sensorial escapism intersect for pure rejuvenation. It also houses the Taktouk Clinic, whose advanced dermatology offering is led by Dr Wassim Taktouk, plus MoodsPro’s science-led aromatherapy and EviDenS de Beauté’s East-meets-West skincare rituals – a first of its kind within a hotel.
The Chancery Rosewood has carved a new benchmark for the UK capital’s luxury landscape at this contemporary cultural address.
