Discover where celebrities stay in the UK

Set in the prime central London location of Holborn – ideal for splashing out on some retail therapy in Covent Garden or partying until the sun comes up in Soho – the grandiose Rosewood Hotel is a sophisticated haven in the heart of the capital, and a popular spot for the odd celebrity or two.

Justin Bieber and Oprah Winfrey have both stayed here (not together, presumably) and enjoyed the plethora of luxuries that this establishment has to offer. 

The hotel’s rooms are among the most spacious in London; its 44 suites have either one, two, or three bedrooms and are large and elegant with bespoke furnishings in a sleek, contemporary design.

The 10 signature suites are expansive and super-luxurious, and the Grand Manor House Wing boasts an exclusive six-bedroom suite that even has its own postcode! 

Raising the bar for pioneering British cuisine, The Rosewood is home to several excellent dining options, from the Mexican-influenced La Veranda by Patrón to traditional British fare at the brasserie-style Holborn Dining Room, and Scarfes Bar, an ultra-cool social hub where art meets jazz.
