Nobu to open hotel in Portman Square

THE SECOND Nobu Hotel in London is on schedule to welcome its first guests in November. The Nobu Hotel London Portman Square was due to open in July but the date was postponed due to the pandemic.

Formerly a Radisson Blu, the hotel closed in April 2019 for a complete renovation project by London-based architecture and design firm, David Collins Studio, in conjunction with Make Architects. Its design has been inspired by Japanese minimalism, drawing upon traditional weaving techniques, patterns and artworks.

The hotel will have 259 guest rooms and suites, a Nobu Restaurant, a spa, ballroom and meeting spaces.

The lifestyle brand already has a hotel in Shoreditch.
