An intimate, central London setting with book-lined walls, The Seamus Heaney Library in named after the Nobel Prize-winning Irish poet, playwright and translator, who was a regular guest at the hotel and personally opened the refurbished room in July 2011. A unique and atmospheric space, it houses hundreds of first editions dating from the 1930s as well as a range of 20th century classics.
The air conditioned wood-panelled room has ample natural daylight and is furnished with Lutyens designed "spider back" chairs, parquet floors and a long oak table
