Morgans Hotel Group has announced that its newest Hudson property will be located in Great Scotland Yard in St. James’s, London. The Hudson London deal was officially announced by the boutique hospitality management company back in June, but the location of the project is only now confirmed.
This opening follows Hudson’s flagship hotel in New York, and marks the beginning of Morgans Hotel Group’s plan to introduce the brand into gateway markets around the globe.
Located in the heart of Westminster, Hudson London, slated to open early in 2015, will be just moments away from London’s most iconic landmarks including Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and Big Ben.
The 234-room boutique property is situated in a 102-year-old Edwardian building, formerly inhabited by the Ministry of Defence and then as a public records library in the 1980’s. The elegant historic building serves as an exciting and unexpected backdrop for the newest Hudson property which, following its New York predecessor, will emphasize public spaces as a forum for social exchange.
Inspired by a blend of old and new, Hudson will bring a distinctive new offering to London, fusing a unique playfulness with cutting-edge style and impeccable service. The property will feature a brand new restaurant on the ground floor, a 40-seat library lounge and flexible boardroom space that can be used for business meetings as well as private events.
Hudson London commences a partnership between Morgans Hotel Group and hotel owners Sansar Investments Ltd.
Hudson London at Great Scotland Yard is Morgans Hotel Group’s fourth property in London, joining renowned Sanderson and St Martin’s Lane properties, and Mondrian London at Sea Containers House, set to open its doors early 2014.
