The Roseate Reading

This grandiose Grade II townhouse with a sleek red-carpeted set of stairs leading into the
entrance stands a short scenic stroll from Reading’s train station through leafy Forbury
Gardens. A dedication to elegance, timeless luxury and attentive service elevates The
Roseate Reading and its exquisite rooms far above the local competition, while the lavish interiors
are filled with art and a surprising fusion of modern and early 1900s design aesthetics.
Luxurious finishings are replete throughout The Roseate Reading, with sumptuous fabrics,
indulgent toiletries and an impressive glass chandelier (made with 86,000 Italian beads)
that pours from the top of the building through the original lift shaft following its glittering
descent to the lobby. 

55 en-suite rooms await (spread across the Townhouse and a modern house, home to the
stunning Aheli Spa), including two accessible rooms and a small collection of suites, one
with a copper roll-top bath and another with a delightful four-poster bed and dining space
for six.

The Reading Room Restaurant and Bar makes a refined but relaxed setting for a cocktail, lunch, dinner, or a 7 course tasting menu in stunning interiors where the Roseate Reading's worldly luxury continues with a delectable European seasonal menu that takes advantage of the south of England’s wealth of produce (with all dietary requirements catered to). For something a little lighter, the hotel’s patisserie; boulangerie is an ideal option for afternoon tea or a coffee and a sandwich. An alfresco option is available in the Secret Garden’ within an airy sunken courtyard with views of the greenery beyond the hotel and a lush, light-draped pomegranate tree centrepiece. While guests celebrating at the Roseate Reading can opt for a selection of private rooms including the Cellar, library or even the private 30-seat cinema ‘Upstage Mini.

Hidden at the top of the modern building The Aheli Spa (purity in Sanskrit) offers an oasis dedicated to health and beauty. Stride across the courtyard from the main property and once inside you’ll note that the luxurious textures of the main house give way to clean lines and contemporary styling with pale wooden floors, velvet seating and striking copper finishes. Signature services at the Aheli focus on detoxes, cleanses, couples treatments and rejuvenation with Balinese and Ayurveda remedies.

Conveniently situated in central Reading, the Roseate Hotel and Spa is as ideal for a weekend family getaway as it is for a romantic rendezvous for two (throw in a couples treatment at the Aheli to make it perfect). Stroll along the tranquil banks of the Rivers Thames and Kennet to see sights like the imposing Reading Abbey, or stay closer to the hotel for picnics in the delightfully atmospheric Forbury Gardens. Nearby events include the legendary Reading Festival, Henley Regatta and Royal Ascot.
