La Terrasse at Rosewood London

This summer, Rosewood London and GREY GOOSE® Vodka unveil La Terrasse by GREY GOOSE, an alfresco retreat bringing the charm of a French summer to the city. Set in the hotel’s Belle Époque-style courtyard, La Terrasse offers guests relaxed lunches, sundowners, and cocktails in a stylish outdoor space.

The design is as refined as the drinks menu: crisp white parasols sway gently overhead, while deep blue seating, crafted by French designer Frédéric Sofia and inspired by the Jardin du Luxembourg, offers a stylish nod to Paris’s iconic park life. With elegant shutters, matching awnings, and greenery creating a sense of intimacy, the terrace feels less like a hotel courtyard and more like a hidden corner of Saint-Germain. An indoor dining area for up to 60 guests complements the alfresco space, making it a perfect spot to enjoy the taste of France in London.
