Rosewood in London, Finally!
Back in 2002, when I mentioned that Rosewood would be opening a new hotel in London in 3-6 months, I meant 11 years. So I was off by just a teeny weeny bit, as were the former concierge and manager of the Seiyo Ginza (RIP, my old friend Seiyo Ginza - your birdseed pillows will be missed).
Anyway, looks like the Rosewood in London is finally on its way.
After a final awful last stay/last straw at the Lanesborough in July 2004 under Starwood (I won't go into details unless begged), I permanently switched to the Stafford, and I never looked back. After a bit of a hiatus from London, I look forward to seeing how the new Rosewood turns out. From what I can tell, it'll be on the same site as the Chancery Court hotel, not sure it will take over the premises or simply occupy a part of the same address.

I can't believe it is closing as from today! (31st July 2013) We stayed there on Saturday night as we were going to see Derren Brown at the Palace theatre. The hotel was being renovated so I thought nothing of the strange entrance that consisted of a slim corridor and then straight to the lifts
On account of our valued relationship, I am writing to personally inform you that the Chancery Court Hotel will cease operations on Wednesday 31st July 2013. I understand that this may be unexpected news and wish to take this opportunity to offer our sincere thanks for your loyalty and for entrusting us as your preferred London hotel, especially as there are a number of choices available to you. With regard to the hotel closing, please do let me know should you require my assistance with an introduction to another hotel in the area, I would be delighted to help you. Finally, I want to inform you that I will be in touch over the coming months with further news on the exciting plans for this heritage building. If you have any questions in the meantime, please do let me know.
Respectfully yours
Assistant Front of House Manager
