The Londoner

— London

Edwardian Hotels London has opened what it calls the ‘world’s first super boutique hotel’, The Londoner, on the city’s historic Leicester Square. The architecture is by Woods Bagot, while interiors come courtesy of Canadian firm Yabu Pushelberg. According to George Yabu, the hotel ‘was designed to play into the roots of Leicester Square as London’s historic theatre district. We created layers of programming up into the sky and deep into the earth that emphasise this extroverted, alluring, playful voice.’ Across 16 storeys are 350 rooms, suites and a tower penthouse, as well as private screening rooms, a spa and gym, and six concept F&B options, including al fresco dining and a rooftop lounge bar.
