The Chancery Rosewood

The Chancery Rosewood is ideally located in the heart of Mayfair, surrounded by world-class shopping, galleries, and restaurants, all within walking distance. And because the property was once the American Embassy, it uniquely has no direct neighbors, offering privacy in one of London’s busiest neighborhoods.

• Eurostar Access: Our journey began in Amsterdam with a smooth four-hour Eurostar ride to London. Immigration was handled before departure, so we skipped the long lines typical of Heathrow. For travelers from Paris, Brussels, or Amsterdam, Eurostar is the most seamless option.

• Airport Transfers: Guests arriving by air can take advantage of The Chancery’s complimentary chauffeured transfers (Mercedes or Range Rover), complete with WiFi, snacks, and bottled water. The ride takes 30–40 minutes from Heathrow, 15–20 minutes from City Airport, and just 10–15 minutes from St. Pancras.

• Arrival Experience: From the moment the doorman opened the car door, we were whisked into a building that feels both historic and contemporary. Check-in often takes place in-suite for added privacy.

Unlike most London properties, The Chancery Rosewood is an all-suite hotel with 144 residences that feel more like chic Mayfair apartments than traditional hotel rooms.

• Junior Suites: Entry-level accommodations start at 570 sq. ft.—a rarity in London. My Mayfair Junior Suite featured three fresh flower arrangements, plush carpeting, and an abundance of natural light.

• Design: Interiors by Joseph Dirand feature walnut, brass, and rare green Indian marble. Leather-wrapped Nespresso machines, pre-filled water reservoirs, and skim milk in the fridge are small but thoughtful touches. Yes, even the minibar feels curated, with healthy and gluten-free snacks included complimentary.

• Bathrooms: Heated floors, deep soaking tubs, generous showers, double vanities, and TOTO bidet toilets are standard in most suites.

• Signature Touch: Each suite features its own martini station, allowing guests to enjoy a perfectly chilled cocktail right in their room.

• Extras: On arrival, we were greeted with custom luggage tags, fresh croissants from a local bakery, and a beautifully arranged fruit platter.

The Grosvenor Square–facing suites are especially desirable for their leafy, quiet views, while the penthouses offer full floor-to-ceiling windows and even wood-burning fireplaces.

With eight distinct dining and drinking options, The Chancery is set to become a true culinary epicenter in Mayfair.

• Serra: The only three-meals-a-day venue, serving Mediterranean cuisine that feels sun-kissed and seasonal. The restaurant overlooks Grosvenor Square, making it the perfect breakfast spot for Rosewood Elite clients who receive complimentary dining here.

• Jacqueline: A refined evening venue that reimagines the British tea tradition with flair. Guests can explore a curated collection of over 100 distinctive teas from around the world, or enjoy stylish dinners accompanied by live music Thursday through Saturday.

• The Eagle: A rooftop bar offering dramatic skyline views of London.

• Carbone: The legendary New York institution’s first European outpost (ask us about securing tables through our insider connections).

• Tobi Masa Omakase: Opening later in 2025, this will be the acclaimed chef’s first restaurant in Europe.

• Lobby Deli: A chic grab-and-go café for coffee and pastries.

This lineup confirms The Chancery’s ambition to be not just a hotel but a neighborhood destination.

The Asaya Spa is both luxurious and functional, designed for wellness-seekers who want more than the basics.

• Facilities: A 25-metre lap pool (almost unheard of in Mayfair), cold and hot plunge pools, and heated rock beds perfect for an afternoon nap.

• Fitness: A gym with custom Technogym equipment, a yoga studio, and Pilates reformers.

• Treatments: Holistic therapies and cosmetic medicine through the hotel’s partnership with the Taktouk Clinic. View the full treatment menu on their website.

Our 60-minute deep tissue massage was one of the best we’ve had in London.

Beyond suites and spa, The Chancery focuses on the thoughtful extras that make a stay feel effortless:

• Flexible Check-In/Out: Arrive and depart whenever you’d like—no fixed times.

• Complimentary Transfers: Round-trip airport transfers are included with every reservation.

• Art Concierge: A 700-piece curated collection with private tours available.

• Bespoke Family Stays: Although there’s no kids’ club, the hotel can customize children’s programming upon request.

• Bentley House Car: Complimentary rides around Mayfair (subject to availability).

• Personalized Service: From a WhatsApp concierge to turndown notes and surprise gifts, the staff is attentive yet discreet.

Every detail during our stay, from honoring dietary needs to stocking the minibar with gluten-free options, was handled seamlessly.

London’s luxury hotel scene is competitive, but The Chancery differentiates itself in several key ways:

• All-suite concept (oversized rooms with residential design).

• Eight dining outlets, including Europe’s first Carbone and Toni Massa’s omakase.

• Asaya Spa features a 25-metre pool, a rarity for the neighborhood.

• Complimentary transfers and flexible check-in/out, included for every guest.

• A rich sense of history, with Saarinen’s original eagle and diagrid ceiling preserved in the redesign by David Chipperfield Architects.

It’s bold, modern, and deeply rooted in the history of Mayfair.
