It could be disconcerting for some if a Golden Retriever jogged in during a meeting, but it’s par for the course at Rosewood London, where Pearl has been a feature of the hotel pretty much since day one, getting her name from Pearl Assurance Company, who the Holborn building was originally created for.
Pearl seems genuinely unphased by the comings and goings at the hotel – she must feel secure that managing director Michael Bonsor has it all under control. He started in August 2013, just weeks before the hotel was opening, and his first full hotel opening at that, plus it was a beast - with 306 rooms, two restaurants, spa and significant events space.
