Singapore-based luxury brand Pan Pacific’s first European outpost is set to open in spring at One Bishopsgate Plaza, London’s new landmark tower, just across from Liverpool

Street Station.

All 237 rooms and suites, designed in soothing neutral tones, will feature floor-to-ceiling windows complete with

Italian marbled bathroom equipped with Diptyque goodies and a Dyson hairdryer. And the hotel’s magnificent Pan Pacific Suite on the 19th floor comes with a private butler service.

An entire floor dedicated to wellness will include treatment rooms, hightech gym, studio and a dramatic 60ft infinity pool with views over the plaza.

Multi-award-winning pastry chef Cherish Finden, who famously appeared as a judge on Channel 4’s Bake Off: The Professionals, will be serving up a “slice of Singapore” on the afternoon tea menu, as a nod to Pan Pacific’s Asian roots, along with traditional English favourites.
