Boutique hotel in Clerkenwell with 18th-century charm and an honesty bar

Rooms & Suites

The Rookery offers individually styled rooms with sumptuous antique furniture and original period details. Each air-conditioned room includes a flat-screen LCD TV and an en-suite bathroom with land&water toiletries. Spacious junior suites feature vintage roll-top baths and high-quality linens.

The honesty bar in the cozy Conservatory offers guests personal choice of beverages on an honor system. Room service provides lunch and dinner options, and the immediate area offers a wide range of restaurants and bars.

Location & Nearby

The hotel is set on a quiet street in Clerkenwell, 100 meters from Farringdon Railway Station and a 5-minute walk from Barbican Tube Station. St Paul's Cathedral is half a mile away, and the Bank of England and Museum of London are within walking distance. Smithfield Market and the financial Square Mile are on the hotel's doorstep.

Public Spaces & Services

Guests can relax in the oak-panelled lounge with an open fire or the library stocked with books. The Drawing Room and Library are available for private meetings and discreet business gatherings. Resident cat Bagheera adds to the homely feel, and the 24-hour front desk offers concierge and luggage storage.
