Japanese Twist

Set to open in September, Chotto Matte restaurant and bar will offer guests fresh, high quality Japanese inspired Nikkei cuisine. Featuring a tasting menu of seven courses for a reasonable £40, the Peruvian and Japanese fusion menu will bring something a little different to London’s West End.

Four distinct areas split over three floors will house a lounge, sushi bar, robata grill, and a 180-cover restaurant offering guests a multi-layered experience that blurs the boundaries between modern and traditional aesthetics. Hiroki Takemura, the former head of Nobu and Zuma’s highly acclaimed kitchens, has developed Chotto Matte’s menu. And, with a large collection of fine wines, sakes, shochu and premium Japanese whiskies, guests can also experience a comprehensive choice of drinks which complement the delicious food.

Opening: September 2013

Traditional Modern Luxury

Since 1979 Rosewood Hotels and Resorts have been devoted to bringing exclusive luxury and extravagance to all corners of the world. The Rosewood Hotel Group prides itself on providing, with each hotel, a one-of-a-kind ambiance designed to enhance every aspect of their guest’s experiences.

It can be expected that The Rosewood Hotel London might not bestow quite the same exotic ambiance as its sister resorts in the Caribbean, but in the heart of one of the world’s greatest cities, Rosewood is looking to provide the same level of luxury combining a fusion of tradition and modern urban elegance. With an £85,000,000 renovation of a 1914 Edwardian grade II-listed building, this new venture should do nothing but impress even the most sophisticated of travellers.

Initial renderings reveal the historic building is to host 262 guestrooms and 44 suites, a wood-panelled library/ lounge, and various public spaces filled with books and artwork. The Manor House Suite, with private elevator even has its own street entrance. In addition, the just as eagerly anticipated restaurant and bar by Martin Brudnizki of Scott’s and Le Caprice, is the icing on the cake...
