A landmark addition to Gencom’s portfolio
Located on High Holborn, Rosewood London combines 308 rooms and suites with a collection of renowned dining venues, including Holborn Dining Room, Scarfes Bar and the Mirror Room. The property joins Gencom’s growing portfolio of luxury hotels, which includes assets associated with Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis and Fairmont. The acquisition follows several recent investments in New York and Miami, reinforcing the group’s presence in major international hospitality markets.
A strengthened partnership with Rosewood
The transaction marks an important step in Gencom’s relationship with Rosewood Hotel Group. Its president, Radha Arora, welcomed the partnership, highlighting their shared commitment to distinctive properties and personalised guest experiences. Rosewood London, which opened under the brand in 2013, holds a special place in the group’s history as one of its early landmark properties.
A new chapter for a historic property
Previously owned by investment firm CTF Development, linked to Hong Kong’s Cheng family, the hotel was reportedly put up for sale in December 2025 amid liquidity pressures affecting the wider group. The building had been owned by the family since 2006, when it operated as The Chancery Court Hotel. Rosewood has since expanded its London presence with Chancery Rosewood, an all-suite property housed in the former American Embassy at Grosvenor Square, which opened in 2025.
