Nobu Hospitality, the hotel brand brand founded by chef Nobu Matsuhisa, actor Robert De Niro and film producer Meir Teper, is opening a second hotel in London.
Expected to open in spring 2020, the new property will be in Portman Square, close to Mayfair and on the edge of Soho's theater district in London's West End. The property will have 239 guestrooms and suites, together with a Nobu restaurant, a ballroom and meeting facilities. London-based architecture and interior design firm David Collins Studio is working with Make Architects on the development.
The Nobu Hotel London Portman Square will be owned by London + Regional Hotels and is the company's third collaboration with Nobu Hospitality, following the Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay in Spain and the Nobu Restaurant Monte Carlo in Monaco.
