International designer, Joyce Wang transformed the Lobby Lounge and reception area, using contemporary materials juxtaposed with more traditional finishes, to blend seamlessly with The Rosebery’s nature inspired décor.

Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a centrepiece glass chandelier in the shape of a closed flower bud, which is further complemented by an open flower blossom chandelier suspended over the lounge area, where a vibrancy of colour in upholstery and wall coverings animates the space.

The reception artwork by Fredrikson Stallard, is an abstraction of the textured and layered bark of the Plane Tree - the signature tree of Hyde Park.

His menu will feature dishes with a British contemporary twist on French classics.

Award winning Dinner by Heston Blumenthal will reopen with chef Ashley Palmer-Watts at the helm showcasing a new selection of dishes.

The restaurant’s iconic meat fruit will make a comeback, featuring a festive twist with a plum jelly rather than the traditional mandarin jelly.
