The Rockwell
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.
