Why we recommend it
The Rookery sits on Peter's Lane, a narrow passage near Smithfield Market, in a run of 18th-century houses that have been repaired and extended. Inside, wood panelling, flagstone floors, open fires and antique furniture create the feel of a private Georgian house rather than a conventional hotel.
Rooms and suites vary in layout, with roll-top baths and period decor throughout, and room service is available. It is a sister hotel to Hazlitt's in Soho, with the same historic sensibility. Clerkenwell's restaurants are close at hand, including St. JOHN around the corner, and the City is a short walk. Farringdon station, with the Elizabeth line and Thameslink, is just a couple of minutes away, making it convenient for Heathrow and Gatwick.
