Amongst them is the unique Grand Manor House Wing, an exclusive apartment with its own postcode, accessible by a private elevator. Well-known for his work on some of London’s most popular restaurants, Martin Brudnizki has designed Holborn Dining Room with an outdoor terrace as well as the hotel’s warmly welcoming bar.

Dining
Quentins Bar has a traditional soul, and a playful design twist, evoking the atmosphere of a London social club, with a roaring fire at one end and wooden bar running along the other. Its warm, intimate and sophisticated, with an abundance of varied live entertainment. The furniture is organised to create cosy, comfortable corners, all sitting on a herringbone floor strewn with hand-woven rugs. On the walls will be handcrafted murals created by a renowned artist.
The Mirror Room is the untouched gem hidden in the heart of the hotel and found by entering the courtyard where elegance and imagination meet quality and taste. This social eating room serves breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner in a refined and opulent yet casual environment, catering to Londons chic and trendy and also our discerning in- house guests from the world over. A re-defined sense of luxury taking into account todays well-travelled aficionado and connoisseur. The Mirror Room is designed to offer a sense of comfort and ease where the common rules of fine dining are dismissed for a more effortless and relevant style of service that marries the finer things in life with simplicity and comfort.

A large bar at one end of the room and a large cold cuts and British Charcuterie counter on the other are the feature points of this unique space in our area.
