Holborn's Rosewood London is a fancy five-star luxury hotel. Housed in the original headquarters of the Pearl Assurance Company, it's been serving Londoners and tourists since 2013.
The 1914 Edwardian building in which it resides was renovated for £85 million, with the original architectural features painstakingly restored by an expert team of craftsmen. They kept the Grade II-listed street frontage and dome and the grand Pavonazzo marble staircase looking glorious.
And while the hotel is spectacular, it's their restaurant, The Holborn Dining Room, that houses what's arguably their biggest selling point. The Pie Room is entirely dedicated to the humble pie, served in a proper restaurant setting.

It's a treasure trove of savoury delicacies, with chefs creating intricate versions of the classics. They bake in an extension of the kitchen, with windows through which customers can watch the experts at work.
For those in a hurry, they're also home to The Pie Hole. The takeaway hatch is an opportunity for passer-by to get a freshly baked golden pastry from a luxury institution.
For those in a serious rush, collection can also be pre-ordered from The Pie Hole. The Pie Hole is open from 11am to 3pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thrusday.
By night, The Pie Room becomes an exclusive private dining room. They're dedicated to serving the humble pie in all its glory, and the intimate dining room seats up to 10.
The pie menu includes a dauphinoise potato pie (£13), a chicken, chestnut mushroom and tarragon pie (£14), and a hand-raised pork pie (£12). There's also a humble sausage roll for £9.
And for Christmas, The Pie Room is selling a festive pâté en croute for £95. The centrepiece has two distinct fillings: pork pâté on one side, and duck and fig pâté on the other.
