City of London to get Conran-designed hotel
A Conran-designed hotel will open in the City of London in September that is promising to "bring something different" to the capital’s hotel scene.
South Place Hotel will be the first property of restaurateurs D&D London.
Located between Moorgate and Liverpool Street, the developers say it will be "as much about meet and eat as sleep".
The hotel will feature 80 bedrooms, two restaurants and three bars, include a rooftop terrace and a ‘secret’ garden on the first floor within the atrium.
On the seventh floor, the Angler restaurant will have views of London’s skyline and will serve seafood by Tony Fleming, previously executive chef at One Aldwych.
The hotel will be a member of Design Hotels.
