The Rockwell Hotel

Small but well formed, the ambience at The Rockwell is sophisticated, yet welcoming and relaxed. It is a boutique hotel, and a member of Designhotels.

The Rockwell offers 40 individually designed rooms and a stylish garden restaurant and a bar, One-Eight-One, which serves modern interpretations of traditional English food. The Rockwell team aims to create a uniquely memorable travel experience, aiming to make visitors feel cosy, 'at home', and well looked after. The Rockwell is ideal for business and leisure travellers alike.

The Rockwell, London's latest contemporary luxury hotel, is situated on South Kensington's Cromwell Road, this independent four star hotel promises to set a new standard of excellence for intimate hotels, with particular appeal to the design-conscious traveler.

The Rockwell's guest rooms offer contemporary styling and standards of comfort with a distinctly English twist. Many incorporate interesting traditional architectural details, giving each room its own atmosphere and 'feel'. Guests can choose from a variety of room categories, from Premier Doubles to Mezzanine Suites and Garden Rooms with private south-facing patio and garden furniture. All rooms have en suite luxury shower rooms with The White Company toiletries.

The public areas of the hotel also retain much of their original English charm. Details such as the intricate wrought-iron banisters and Victorian mosaic floor in the Reception area have been skillfully restored, whilst up-to-the-minute furniture and fabrics create an overall cutting-edge, yet supremely comfortable, designer look.

All the rooms at The Rockwell have a distinctive personality all of their own, they are decorated in a Contemporary English style with solid Oak cupboards and desks that have been crafted to fit the room and maximise space. The feel of the rooms is modern but they do retain some classically English features like the large Victorian windows that stretch from the floor up to the high ceilings, which bathe the rooms in light.

All the beds have pocket sprung mattresses, merino wool bedspreads and fine Eygptian cotton sheets. With showers only, the bathrooms are replenished daily with lotions and soaps from the 'White Company'. Fluffy towelling dressing gowns and hairdryers are available for guests use and are housed within the generous cupboard space.

The Rockwell is situated in the heart of Central London in The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the perfect starting point for sightseeing. There are a huge range of places to visit in the local area. After a day or evening out, The Rockwell offers a tranquil respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, and is a great place to unwind.
