The Roseate Reading  

In the heart of Reading city centre, a luxury townhouse hotel steps from Forbury Gardens and Reading Abbey Ruins. Excellent rail and road links put London about 20 minutes away. You’re also close to the Thames and the University of Reading.

Set inside a carefully restored Shire Hall, the hotel pairs original features—vaulted ceilings, wide hallways and a dramatic glass-bead chandelier—with contemporary design. There are 55 individually decorated rooms: 23 in the main building and 32 in the adjacent House, where rooms have direct access to the spa, gym and on-site patisserie & boulangerie. Rooms focus on art, mood lighting, sound and comfort and include in-room coffee machines and designer toiletries. A secluded Secret Garden with a waterfall and a 30-seat private cinema add serious character.

Full-service spa offering massages, facials and body treatments alongside a sauna and solarium. Fitness centre, private cinema, library and a relaxed outdoor Secret Garden for drinks or private hire. In-house patisserie & boulangerie and a cocktail bar with an award-winning wine list and mixologist. Concierge, on-site parking (charges apply) and complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout the property.

Meeting rooms and private event spaces for up to 60 guests, wedding services and express check-in/out. Work-friendly rooms include desks, laptop-compatible safes and complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet.

A stylish restaurant and bar serves British cuisine with alfresco options, plus a cocktail bar focused on crafted drinks and an excellent wine list. The on-site patisserie & boulangerie turns out pastries and coffee throughout the day. English breakfast is available daily for a fee and 24-hour room service keeps late nights covered.
