Roughluxe Hotel

A careful mix between old and new takes time, patience and a good sense of style. The proprietors of the Roughluxe Hotel in London have all that down pat. Half rough, half luxury, the hotel offers guests a little bit of luxury in a rough London/ a little bit of rough in a luxurious London. Get it? A simple philosophy, founded around the notion that you’re staying with them in their home, should make you feel at ease whether you’re more accustomed to luxe or rough.

The idea is about trading in some luxuries for others. For example, guests might have to share a bathroom, or stay in a smaller room. This is balanced by fine linens, good wine, beautiful surroundings and excellent service. In other words, if you want a standard sized room with standard ammenties – head to the nearest Marriott.
