Opulent in design - plush upholstery - beautiful wall papers - stunning artworks - sculptures and a bespoke chandelier made with 86 - 000 Italian glass beads cascading down from the top of the building - The Roseate Reading was originally Shire Hall for the Berkshire County Council. The building - along with its wide hallways - vaulted ceilings - cornice mouldings and the original lift shaft have all been precisely restored to their original glory. To revive the old world charm of the Shire Hall - its council chamber - Eden along with its imposing fireplace and elaborate wood carvings on the doors and mantlepiece have all been restored to their past splendour.

All rooms and suites in the House have direct access to Aheli Spa - the gym and Roasted by Roseate - the in house patisserie and boulangerie. Every en-suite bedroom has a perfect amalgamation of art - sound - light - comfort and is equipped with Penhaligons amenities and a Nespresso coffee machine. This blend of luxury and fervour permeates throughout the hotel.
Nestled within The Roseate Reading hotel - The Reading Room Restaurant and Bar is a stylish - contemporary space with warm mood lighting and a very charming ambiance. Located in the heart of Reading - its convenient and easily accessible location makes it one of the top spots for dining and cocktails in town.
The Secret Garden is one of Readings most relaxed outdoor spaces - a place to unwind by a waterfall feature or bask under the shade of a pomegranate tree. The Secret Garden is available for private hire by guests for any special occasion or get together.

The location is in the center of Reading, very close to the train station, convenient for travel. The room is in another building and there are staff to help with luggage. The room is nice with a balcony. The hotel restaurant food is also OK. I went late on the day of check-in and only some dishes were available. The wine was good. The hotel made a mistake in the bill when checking out and charged me an extra fee. I negotiated with the platform and got it refunded. Overall I feel satisfied.

How did they get their 5 stars?
It's a very terriable experience.
Don't be fooled by the promotional pictures, it was dark in the building and the narrow lift was very depressing. I checked in in January when the hotel reception was warm, but walking into the room was a different story.
Only a very small heater was provided and there was only one blanket; I even had to wear a heavy coat all the day. Even woke up freezing in the middle of the night.
Absolutely not worth the price and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone nor would I stay here again.

I booked a suite it was so beautiful the room so big with a zinc bath in the bedroom plus the bathroom with a walk in shower. The aheli spa was to die for I had a coconut body scrub chocolate wrap a head massage and reflexology done by a fantastic therapist called csenge I need her to come to London. My partner had the same treatment apartment from reflexology he had a 80min massage with rekha, he couldn’t fault her, her techniques with her hands were so professional he said. We came back to London planning our next trip here in reading it was a treat for my partners birthday it was truly amazing. We stayed at The Roseate Hotel.
