The Most Beautiful British Hotels

Rosewood, London

Architecture buffs heaved a sigh of relief when the doors were flung open at this Holborn hotel, which occupies a beautiful belle époque Edwardian building. A perfectly judged renovation has made the most of beautiful original features like marble panels and pillars, mahogany fittings and a sweeping marble staircase, imbuing the property with a 21st-century sense of style.
