Roseate Hotel

From the tall, unassuming wooden door that gives way to dramatic vaulted hallways and soaring windows, to the original lift shaft restored to its former grandeur and a breathtaking Italian chandelier of 86,000 crystals suspended from on high, every arrival is an occasion.

The former council chamber, Eden, has been lovingly revived with its imposing fireplace, intricate door carvings and ornate mantlepiece returned to their original splendour, ensuring the old world charm of Shire Hall lives on in every detail.

Perfectly positioned beside the tranquil Forbury Gardens and the ancient Abbey ruins, The Roseate Reading places guests at the very centre of a remarkably connected world. London is a mere 25 minutes by train, Heathrow Airport 30 minutes by car, and Windsor just half an hour’s drive, while Ascot Racecourse, Henley-on-Thames and the world-renowned Reading Festival lie within easy reach.

The hotel’s 55 individually conceived rooms and suites each carry their own distinct character, dressed in premium soft furnishings, state-of-the-art audio-visual systems and the finest luxury toiletries. Guests in the House enjoy direct access to the Aheli Spa and The Home Gym, ensuring restoration of body and spirit in equal measure.

Conceived for those who expect nothing less than the exceptional, The Roseate Reading is a hotel of quietly assured indulgence where the calibre of service is matched only by the artistry of its surroundings.
