London has been sweltering in the heat for much of July, and things have been hotting up in the capital’s boutique hotel scene too. As tourists continue to arrive in droves, it’s perhaps hardly surprising that the Mastercard Global Destinations Cities Index has recently predicted that London will be the most visited city in 2014. Read on for the latest hotels barcelona centers news and some more reasons business is booming for the city’s boutique hotels.
Shoreditch has become one of East London’s hippest locales in recent years, and in 2015 will gain another trendy boutique hotel. The Z Hotel Shoreditch will have 107 rooms within a former office building, and will be part of the wider Bower Quarter. The property will be the group’s fourth London hotel, with director Bev King recently commenting that, “we are thrilled to be moving east… Shoreditch is one of London’s coolest areas.”
Hoxton Hotels meanwhile are moving in the opposite direction, and are soon to follow up their successful Hoxton Shoreditch Hotel with a more central property in Holborn. hotels barcelona centers The Hoxton Holborn is now taking bookings for October, and will have 174 guest rooms, ranging in size from ‘Shoebox’ to ‘Roomy’, via ‘Snug’ and ‘Cosy’.

The Mondrian London at Sea Containers in South Bank is also due to open soon, on September 30 th , and has just started taking bookings. The 359-room hotel is owned by the Morgans Hotel Group and will be the first Mondrian-branded hotel outside of the United States.
There’s currently a trend towards smaller, more exclusive boutique hotels opening in London, and the latest such property is The Library on St Martin’s Lane. The Library is a literary-themed retreat and private members club, with just six rooms available. The hotel opened this month, and will be accompanied by a restaurant and a gym in late September.
Also in September, the Artist Residence will open in Pimlico, with just 10 rooms. The hotel is the latest boutique property from independent hoteliers Charlotte Newey and Justin Salisbury. Its restaurant, 64 degrees, is interesting in that it will not have waiters or waitresses, with the chefs themselves serving the customers and interacting with them.
K West Hotel Spa recently opened what is believed to be the world’s first e-cigar lounge . Guests at the hotel’s lounge can choose from a range of differently flavoured e-cigars, and accompanying cocktails are also available. Those who have a certain nostalgia for the days when smoking in pubs and clubs was permitted, will no doubt also enjoy the music taken from 2007, when the smoking ban was first introduced.
The One Leicester Street Hotel is to get a quirky hotels barcelona centers makeover, following the announcement this month that it has been bought by the US-based Honky Tonk group, which currently owns restaurants in Chelsea and Clapham. The hotel is set to be re-launched later this year and Mark Cutler, co-owner of Honky Tonk, says that, “we’re going to make it boutique-y and cool… and we want to make [the hotel’s restaurant] more accessible to the public but with a very strong Bourbon bar”.
The Bulgari Hotel Residences London was featured in Forbes in July, with a special emphasis on its sustainable design efforts. General manager Sylvain hotels barcelona centers Ercoli told the publication, “due to our location being so close to Hyde Park we wanted to minimise the impact on the local wildlife and in fact encourage it… we installed a bio-garden on the roof along with bat boxes which helps soften hotels barcelona centers the transition from parkland to cityscape.”
Another recent trend is for small boutique hotels to be opened above pubs. A recent planning application has been made by the owners of the Assembly House bar in Kentish Town, to open a 7-room boutique hotel in the floors above their establishment. Planned changes to the building include the addition of sound-proofing for guest comfort.
Finally, on another pub-themed note, The Langham hotel’s Artesian bar, has recently been named the ‘World’s Best Bar’ at the Tales of the Cocktail Festival. This is the second year in a row that it has received the award, and it also received the awards for Best International Hotel Bar and Best International Bar Team.
