Built in 1906, Rosemead House has been reimagined as a 28-room Edwardian boutique hotel that explores maximalism as a design language grounded in history, ornament, and collected objects. Once known as the Old English Inn, the Tudor Revival property has undergone an extensive restoration that balances heritage architecture with layered interiors shaped by global sourcing.
Guided by owner Lenny Moy and interior designer Karen Wichert, the design vision was informed by more than 200 estate auctions across the United Kingdom, where antiques, artwork, and decorative objects were carefully selected to shape the character of the hotel. Throughout the property, original architectural elements such as oak staircases and stained glass sit alongside velvet upholstery, brass accents, oil portraits, and patterned wallpapers, creating a dialogue between eras.
The guided tour will explore the philosophy behind the project and the process of transforming a historic building into a contemporary hospitality experience. Participants will also visit Janevca Kitchen & Lounge, where reclaimed fir tables, stained glass details, and a sculptural maple tree installation continue the narrative of craft, provenance, and storytelling through design.
Part restoration and part living gallery, Rosemead House offers a study in how collected interiors can redefine heritage hospitality.
