Seventy-five per cent of the works have already been completed, with full completion scheduled for Summer 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The renewed interiors follow a calm contemporary British aesthetic with a residential sensibility. Detailing favours high-quality, understated finishes over decorative or trend-led styling, remaining in keeping with the hotel\u2019s discreet townhouse approach to hospitality.<\/p>\n<p>Phase Two will see a complete refurbishment of the hotel\u2019s public spaces, including Albert\u2019s Bar, the lobby, reception and breakfast room, and is expected to conclude in Autumn 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Tucked away just off Charlotte Street, The Rathbone, Fitzrovia occupies one of central London\u2019s most walkable neighbourhoods, surrounded by acclaimed restaurants and moments from Soho, Theatreland, Bloomsbury and the West End. Despite its central position, the hotel remains notably removed from the \u2018hustle and bustle\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Known for its quietly attentive service and loyal returning clientele, The Rathbone has established itself as a dependable and discreet address within Fitzrovia. The refurbishment reflects the owners\u2019 long-term, hands-on commitment to the property and reinforces its position as one of the area\u2019s most established independent hotels.<\/p>\n<p>Owned and operated by Carnarvon Hotels Limited, a long-standing private hospitality company under the leadership of Daniel Harris, the hotel continues to be managed with an emphasis on consistency, discretion, and long-term stewardship.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rathbone, Fitzrovia is undertaking a phased refurbishment programme as part of a long-term investment in the property,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":961672,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,257,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-961671","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-london","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116578954078381009","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/961671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=961671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/961671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/961672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=961671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=961671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=961671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
