Roseate House London

Scene

A classic boutique hotel with lovely antiques and a garden terrace

The Royal Park Hotel -- located on a quiet, tree-lined street -- offers modest elegance with its classic decor and original oil paintings. The pristine-white, unadorned Georgian exterior is the quintessential architectural style of this area in London. Inside, an intimate lobby and reception area have a distinct collection of antiques that range from historic to eccentric to charming.

Common areas are where guests will find the relaxed scene here, from the sophisticated cocktail lounge to the leafy outdoor garden terrace. This hotel is made up of 19th century townhouses that give guests a glimpse into their history. Days here start with a continental breakfast, and many guests choose to take advantage of a free glass of champagne every evening.
