Slap bang in the heart of Soho, the Frith Street hotel's bohemian decor and design have been configured with bespoke furniture, cosy fireplaces and reclaimed oak flooring. The six floors boast a range of rooms, from compact yet opulent doubles to traditional suites with high-end finishes and marble bathrooms. Their boudoir-style eatery, Henson's Bar & Social, has quickly become a regular haunt among the Soho crowd and acts as a great meeting place by day before transforming into a vibrant cocktail lounge at night.

This five-star, 1920s-inspired property in the City is a standalone venture from Soho House and the Sydell Group.

The hotel includes nine eating and drinking spaces including Millie's (visit for its up lobster mac and cheese) and Asian-Pacific inspired restaurant Kaia, which focuses on healthy bites such as poke. Three of these eateries are for members and guests only, such as Ned's Club Upstairs, which offers an indoor pool overlooking the London skyline as well as landscaped gardens, a retractable roof and heaters, making it a pleasant year-round. The hotel also offers a full range of treatments in the design-led spa and grooming spaces, including the Miguel Perez hair salon, manis and pedis at Cheeky and makeovers at Trish McEvoy.

Perhaps one of the quirkiest hotel openings of the year - who wouldn't want to stay at a hotel in a gin distillery?

Overlooking Portobello Road, its GinTonica bar and restaurant serves tapas-style small plates using the finest Spanish produce combined with seasonal ingredients. For a more peaceful setting, nip over to The Resting Room for bespoke gin blends alongside other barrel-aged spirits in fanciful flavours served alongside traditional British cuisine.
