After all the doom & gloom and uncertainty this year unkindly threw at us, we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and wanted to give you something to look forward to by offering the inside scoop on some exciting new hotels and venues that are open in this three-part blog.
Hopefully this will tickle your taste buds and get you daydreaming of where to hold your post-lockdown meetings and events.
London Hotels
Nobu Portman Square
Due to open: Scheduled for Autumn 2020
Location: Marylebone, London
Capacities: Beds|249 Cabaret|344 Theatre|600 Dinner|450
Following the success of their recent opening in Shoreditch, Nobu is moving West, setting up in vibrant Portman Square, Marylebone (just north of Selfridges). We are excited to learn the hotel will feature 249 guest rooms and suites, Nobu’s world-class restaurant, a ballroom for up to 700 and meeting spaces – all beautifully conceptualised by London-based architecture and interior design firm David Collins Studio. Boasting bespoke in-room audio-visual equipment and delicious, creative meal breaks brought to your guests by the renowned Nobu catering, this hotel will no-doubt be on the ‘hot list’ for a multitude of events for years to come.
Mayfair Townhouse
Due to open: Scheduled for Autumn 2020
Location: Mayfair, London
Capacities: Beds|172 Event capacities yet to be confirmed
Located on Half Moon Street alongside Piccadilly, The Mayfair Townhouse is set to debut in September 2020. Brought to you by Iconic Luxury Hotels (owners of Cliveden & Chewton Glen) this new venture will have 172 rooms & suites (including 2 Penthouse Suites and Garden Suites), The Dandy Bar and a private gym. It should be a stunning property, though will have limited function space, so we believe it will be more appropriate for incentives and accommodation used in conjunction with events at local venues (Spencer House, Lancaster House, Royal Academy to recommend a few).
Pan Pacific
Due to open: Scheduled for early 2021
Location: City, London
Capacities: Beds|237 Cabaret |TBC Theatre|400 Dinner| TBC

A 2-minute walk from Liverpool Street station, this 237-luxury bedroom hotel will have restaurants, landscaped outdoor space, 897sqm of meeting and event spaces over 2 levels. A notable highlight has to be the extensive 464sqm smart Pan Pacific Ballroom, the largest ballroom in the Square Mile, built to accommodate 400 guests. Being the only hotel in London with an entire level dedicated to your well-being; incorporating a dramatic 18.5-metre infinity pool with views, treatment rooms, sleeping pods, gym, steam rooms and saunas, this is set to be a sought-after ‘urban retreat’.
