PB hotel design editorial

Carved from a former Baptist church on Southampton Row in Holborn, a Grade II-listed building whose Portland stone facade carries a sculpted figure in a classical niche above the entrance arches, L'oscar London opened in 2018 under the creative direction of Jacques Garcia — the French designer whose fingerprints are on some of the most theatrically charged interiors in Europe, from Hotel Costes in Paris to the NoMad in New York. The conversion retained the Victorian ecclesiastical shell while Garcia filled it with an interior sensibility closer to a Symbolist painting than a hotel lobby: deep aubergine velvets, gilded parrot sculptures perched on branching floor lamps, butterfly specimens displayed in backlit brass-framed cases, and mirror-panelled ceilings that fracture the candlelight into something dizzying and warm. The property holds 39 rooms and suites across six floors. The guest rooms split between two registers. Those carved from the original church building retain high arched windows, sage-green panelled walls, and tall upholstered headboards in peacock-feather fabric, the floors laid in dark stained timber beneath gold-and-black damask carpets. Upper-floor suites added above the historic structure take a different tone — lacquered black doors inlaid with gold butterfly motifs, crimson silk cushions, and full-height glazing opening onto terraces with unobstructed sightlines toward the Shard and the City. The restaurant carries the same Garcia vocabulary: ebonised panelling, gilt botanical friezes, and plum velvet banquettes beneath a gridded smoked-mirror ceiling.

"We were in London for sight inspections of our favorite hotels. We decided to stay at the newly refurbished L’Oscar. The hotel is stunning. The service is extraordinary. The food was divine. We especially enjoyed our time with Toni the concierge who gave us a tour of the property handled our bags after a long day of travel told us the history is a property and made fantastic recommendations for the area. If you’re visiting, London make sure to stay at L’Oscar and say hello to Toni for us."
