A Grade II listed building, the Renaissance Chancery Court is a grand, seven-storey Edwardian hotel located 500 metres from Covent Garden and West End theatres, and half a mile from the British Museum.

The 356 guestrooms are all uniquely shaped due to the unusual structure of the building. All feature cherry-wood furniture, armchairs, objets d'art, and beds with Indian cotton pillowcases. Rooms come equipped with satellite television, video-game consoles, Internet connections, CD players, tea and coffee-making facilities, and minibars.

The hotel houses 11 meeting rooms, the largest of which can accommodate 400 people theatre-style. The business centre offers secretarial and support services, including fax and photocopying facilities.

At the onsite spa, guests can unwind in the teak and gold-leaf relaxation room or sweat it out in the steam room and sauna. Ayurvedic and holistic therapies include traditional manicures and pedicures, and hot stone massage.

Situated in one of the original banking halls, the Pearl Restaurant features marble columns and high ceilings. The à la carte menu offers modern European fare with an Oriental twist, and signature dishes include Rabbit Ravioli. The Bar at Chancery Court features mahogany panelling, green-leather sofas, and comfortable armchairs, and offers a lunch menu and bar snacks in the evening. The Lobby Lounge serves breakfast, a lunch buffet and traditional English afternoon tea.

Guests can purchase Ede and Ravenscroft shirts in the boutique or visit the hair salon. The concierge and staff at the 24- hour front desk are on hand to advise on local sights and attractions.
