Japan's Prince Hotels set for London debut

THE Arch London Hotel will re-open as the Prince Akatoki this September, becoming the group’s first UK hotel.

It will also be the first hotel to open worldwide under the Prince group's new Akatoki brand. The opening is scheduled for September 16 and will “take the best of Japan and introduce it to London”.

Located close to Marble Arch, the five-star property will have 82 guestrooms – including a range of rooms and suites – featuring minimal designs, natural elements, calming colours and premium amenities.

Dining options will include fusion food restaurant Liquid Spoon and cocktails and whisky bar The Malt Lounge, while further amenities include a gym and The Prince Room for meetings and events of up to 36 guests.
