- TRAFALGAR ST . JAMES -
Trafalgar St . James , Curio Collection by Hilton – the 5 * lifestyle hotel in central London - unveils the first stage of the hotel ’ s luxury refurbishment with the opening of the new Rockwell Bistro & Wine Bar and the fully redesigned lobby .
The all-new Rockwell Bistro & Wine Bar and lobby transformation are part of the hotel ’ s £ 6m renovation plan which sees the hotel elevating their premium offering with a full refurbishment of the ground and lower ground floors . The next phase of the renovation , due to be unveiled in February 2025 , will see the hotel add six new suites to their offering .
Rockwell Bistro & Wine Bar is an all-day destination combining luxurious design features with a laid-back neighbourhood atmosphere . Rockwell offers guests a sumptuous day-to-night experience : beginning with breakfast and speciality coffee in the morning and through to the evening with a menu of all-day delistyle dishes and creative small plates . A carefully curated wine list promises to satisfy the curious and the connoisseur alike .
The redesigned lobby flows seamlessly into the elegant Rockwell where a fresh new interior has been designed by Design LSM , the award-winning studio behind 100 Queen ’ s Gate , Curio Collection by Hilton . The contemporary , warm colour palette and plush furnishings give both spaces a soft glow , creating a sanctuary away from the bustle of the capital .
The new Spring Gardens Suites will offer guests a standard of premium experience , with their contemporary design and exclusive amenities . The warm and chic interior contrasts a palette of bold colours against natural tones of dark oak and rattan .
Federico Ciampi , London Cluster General Manager said of the renovations :
“ We are excited to invite guests to join us at Rockwell Bistro & Wine Bar giving them a first glimpse into our luxury renovation project . The launch of the suites will set Trafalgar St . James apart as a top 5-star destination for both our hotel guests and visitors to the new Rockwell and The Rooftop .”
The six Spring Garden suites are in addition to the hotel ’ s current 131 bedrooms , including three iconic suites . Trafalgar St . James is also home to The Rooftop , one of London ’ s top skyline bars with incredible cocktails , stylish interiors and unbeatable views over Trafalgar Square and the London skyline .
