It was, then it wasn’t, and now it looks very much back on again
The Chancery Rosewood in Mayfair, open on the site of the former US Embassy on Grosvenor Square to the tune of £1 billion, was one of the biggest launches of last year. As well as boasting 144 suites, the hotel is home to a number of high-profile restaurants, including a London outpost of NYC’s Carbone; Tobi Masa from Masa Takayama, who’s behind NYC’s three-Michelin-starred Masa; and Mediterranean spot Serra, led by ex-Berenjak and Murano chef Alex Povall.
Back in 2024, Richard Caring confirmed that he’d also be relaunching Le Caprice at The Chancery Rosewood – though Jeremy King took over the original Le Caprice site in Mayfair with Arlington in 2024, Caring has owned the Le Caprice name since 2005. However Caring’s reinterpretation of Le Caprice wasn’t mentioned in the hotel’s announcement of its food and beverage partners last summer, and it was widely believed that the project was cancelled.
Now it appears that it’s very much back on. Caprice Holdings has posted a job listing for a general manager to lead a flagship opening at the hotel, which is “set to be one of the most anticipated openings of 2026”. The new venue will be called Caprice Restaurant, rather than Le Caprice, and it’s a new concept, not a relaunch. We don’t have any other details at the moment, so watch this space….
