The Rookery Review

This beautiful 1725 town house, surrounded by office buildings, is the kind of place where you want to allow some proper time to enjoy and soak up the atmosphere—in the elegant, Regency-style drawing room, which has a well-stocked honesty bar, and in the huge, wood-paneled bedrooms, with heavy raw silk drapes, antique furniture, antiquarian books artfully scattered here and there, and white marble bathrooms with deep claw-foot tubs big enough for two. The conservatory, with its small patio garden, is another relaxing place to unwind. There's no restaurant, but there is a good-quality (and reasonably priced) room-service menu. Breakfast comes in the form of a large basket of tasty, freshly baked breads and pastries, plus juices and yogurts, served in your room. Great deals are available in the winter.
