The Rockwell
London, United Kingdom[view map]
- Style
- English eccentric updated
- Setting
- An amble from Earl's Court
Swish Earl's Court bolthole The Rockwell is located on the Hotel Alley that is Cromwell Road. The Victorian grandeur stands out thanks to its 'chim-chimeney, chim chim cheroo' cheek; the gleaming stucco frontage is accented with splashes of pistachio, and the giant oak door provides a hearty welcome. The decor is a real antidote to the generic hotel colour palette, with dashes of Seventies geometric prints and flashes of vibrant aquamarine and mustard tones.
