The Rookery Hotel - London

4-star boutique hotel in Clerkenwell with an honesty bar and a resident cat

Common Spaces & Honesty Bar

The Rookery offers three lounges and a conservatory with open fires, each furnished with period antiques and wingback chairs.

A resident black cat named Bagheera freely roams the common areas, adding to the home-like atmosphere.

Each junior suite and double room at the Rookery Hotel is individually decorated with original 18th-century furniture and artwork. Several rooms feature vintage roll-top baths and exposed beams, such as the Sophie Rood room on the third floor. High-quality bed linens and air conditioning are standard, while some suites include a separate sitting area.
