Frogmore & D&D London complete Spy-inspired hotel
Located between Moorgate and Liverpool Street, the 75,800 sq ft hotel has 80 bedrooms, two restaurants, three bars and five private dining meeting rooms, and will open for business on 3 September.
The meeting rooms in the hotel have been named after fictional spies, inspired by 49 Moorgate, a Soviet spy centre in the 1920s.The site of South Place Hotel, formerly comprising two office buildings, was bought by Frogmore in 2007 with the intention of developing new commercial space. Planning consent for a hotel was achieved following Frogmore’s decision to change its intended use due to the reduced activity in the central London office market.
London’s hotel market has proved resilient despite the recent financial and economic difficulties, with hotels posting an annual RevPAR growth of 5.8% in the last five years, according to research by Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels.
Jo Allen, director of operations, development and asset management at Frogmore, said:
“This site attracted the interest of a number of well-known hotel groups, but we are confident that our expertise in building hotels combined with D&D’s track record of creating destinations can deliver the best hotel in the Square Mile.”
Des Gunewardena, chairman and CEO of D&D London, said:
“Following the success of the Great Eastern, which we owned and operated as Conran, we have had an ambition to return to the hotel business. We are hoping that this is the first of many hotels for us and have a long term ambition to have hotels in the cities in which we operate restaurants – currently London, Paris, New York and Tokyo.”
South Place Hotel has been designed by Allies and Morrison with interiors by Conran + Partners.
