The Londoner is the world’s first super boutique. It comes with a quirky playfulness, underrated luxury, and a superb art collection, and despite its staggering scale, it has an intimate and individual feel.
The landmark building is a gleaming eight-storey bronze, zinc, Portland stone, and glass tower, wrapped in 15,000 faceted ultramarine faience tiles on the iconic entertainment epicentre Leicester Square in London’s lively and exciting West End – the largest theatre district in the world. The designers leaned into theatricality, bringing the hotel’s spaces to life with a unique character that respects the neighbourhood and history of the area, and with a prevailing sense of fun, a theatrical nod, statuettes reminiscent of the “Oscars”, and incredible attention to detail.
