Thackeray Group has opened onefifty fenchurch, a 33-apartment independent luxury aparthotel in the City of London, operated by Vertiq Hospitality Partners. The property marks the Group’s entry into the hospitality sector and caters to growing interest in high-end extended stays within the Square Mile.
The opening follows a 24-month, £12 million conversion of a former early-2000s office building into a luxury aparthotel, reflecting a broader shift within the City towards flexible, design-led accommodation aligned with evolving patterns of work, travel and longer stays.
“onefifty fenchurch represents a natural evolution for Thackeray Group,” said Brett Palos, Chairman and co-founder of Thackeray Group.
“Across our developments, we’ve always focused on creating spaces that support how people live and work, with wellbeing at the centre. With onefifty fenchurch, we’ve applied that same thinking to hospitality, creating a luxurious aparthotel that prioritises comfort, balance and quality of experience. Partnering with Vertiq Hospitality Partners ensures the hotel is underpinned by the operational expertise needed to deliver that vision from day one.”
Located at 150 Fenchurch Street, the aparthotel occupies a highly connected City address, placing guests at the centre of London’s financial district, moments from Fenchurch Street Station, Tower Hill and key transport links. While firmly embedded in the Square Mile, the experience inside offers a calm retreat above the pace of the city; a balance increasingly sought after by business, leisure and extended-stay guests.
onefifty fenchurch offers 33 contemporary apartments designed for modern city living and shorter and longer stays in the heart of the Square Mile. Calm and residential in feel, each apartment provides a refined base for guests living, visiting, and working in the City.
Accommodation includes Queen and King Studios and One Bedroom Apartments, with select City View and accessible options, ranging from approximately 17-31 square metres. All apartments feature fully equipped kitchenettes, walk-in showers, high-quality Egyptian cotton linen and towels, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, alongside practical in-room amenities such as air conditioning, blackout curtains and flat-screen smart TVs.
Bathrooms are stocked with Bamford’s elevated bath and body amenities, adding a considered wellness element to the in-room experience. A discreet 24-hour front office and fob-controlled access provide wrap-around reassurance and privacy, with concierge support and housekeeping available on request.
Shared facilities have been designed to support both wellbeing and productivity. These include a boutique gym fitted with a Peloton treadmill, a dedicated yoga and Pilates studio equipped with Alo Yoga mats and accessories, and a small number of quiet, private work studios for focused calls or online meetings away from guest apartments.
A communal lounge and an artisanal pantry provide relaxed spaces to pause, recharge or work throughout the day, reinforcing onefifty fenchurch’s balance of independence and service.
onefifty fenchurch sets a new standard for aparthotel living in London’s Square Mile, combining the comfort and autonomy of apartment living with the service of a boutique hotel.
Architecture was led by Falconer Chester Hall, with interiors by Studio Mark Andrew. Together, the teams have created a distinctly residential feel, focusing on comfort, quality finishes and thoughtful detailing to deliver interiors that feel refined and timeless.
The aparthotel offers spaces designed to balance the demands of City life. Dedicated wellness areas, shared lounges and private workspaces support both productivity and wellbeing, allowing guests to live, work and unwind in refined surroundings throughout their stay.
onefifty fenchurch offers immediate access to some of the capital’s most celebrated dining, galleries and landmarks. From Leadenhall Market and the Walkie-Talkie’s Sky Garden to the Tower of London and the River Thames, the surrounding area reflects the City’s evolving character.
Excellent transport connections, including Fenchurch Street Station, Tower Hill and direct access to London City Airport, further reinforce the aparthotel’s appeal for both business and leisure travellers.
