History
The hotel was built by Sir Robert McAlpine from 2010 to 2012, where once stood the Normandie Hotel. It was dedicated in May 2012. It was designed by Antonio Citterio, Patricia Viel & Partners. It was built with Portland stones. There are ten floors up and six underground floors.
There are 85 rooms and suites. All the rooms are designed in the same manner. The main thematic design is silver. The hotel is also home to a cigar shop, a cinema, a spa, an indoor swimming-pool, a ballroom, and the Rivea restaurant. The ballroom, which has a silver chandelier, can be rented for wedding receptions. It is "eco-friendly"; for example, the rainwater is recycled for the toilets. There is also a garden on the roof, or "green roof", with bat boxes.
In 2012, it was the most expensive hotel to stay in London, before The Ritz Hotel and the Savoy Hotel. In 2013, it signed a two-year contract with the Royal Albert Hall to be referred to visitors as its preferred luxury hotel.
It is owned by LVMH.
