Rosewood London's Literary Collaboration with Charles Pignal 

Rosewood London is proud to host a literary partnership with Charles Pignal, literary curator and founder of the acclaimed Lit With Charles podcast and Substack, celebrating the rich heritage of Holborn. In collaboration with Pignal, the hotel invites guests to engage with the world of British literature through a thoughtfully curated cultural experience.

This collaboration brings an additional cultural dimension to the guest experience, honouring the literary legacy of the neighbourhood while embracing the creativity of today’s most compelling voices.

At the heart of the partnership is a bespoke reading list of British authors - both celebrated names and emerging talents - selected by Pignal to reflect the spirit of the city and the character of Holborn. A dedicated library in the hotel’s elegant lobby encourages guests to pause, browse, and connect with the written word throughout their stay. 

Guests will also discover a specially designed bookmark placed in their room, each one featuring a thought-provoking literary quote to inspire a moment of reflection.

The partnership continues through Author Mornings, a literary salon hosted at Rosewood London, where Charles Pignal is joined by acclaimed authors for intimate conversations exploring their work and the themes behind it, recorded live for the Lit with Charles podcast. 

Rooted in Rosewood’s A Sense of Place philosophy, this literary partnership adds another local and cultural layer to the hotel’s offering, inviting guests to engage not only with their surroundings, but also with the ideas that have shaped - and continue to shape - British literary traditions.
