The Chancery Rosewood, a Rosewood Hotel Group property, is housed in the iconic former U.S. Embassy on Grosvenor Square, reimagined by British architect Sir David Chipperfield. It includes 144 spacious suites designed by Joseph Dirand, alongside a collection of distinctive dining and entertainment spaces, providing a stage for progressive ideas, voices and expression.
At The Chancery Rosewood, relationship hospitality defines how we operate.
