With the end of 2020 fast approaching and things looking up for the New Year in terms of travel and socialising, we thought it was the perfect time to put these new luxury London hotel openings for 2021 on your radar. From what’s been dubbed the world’s ‘first super boutique hotel’ to the £100 million transformation in Knightsbridge, here’s Luxe Bible’s guide to our hottest must-stays.
NoMad London in Covent Garden – Opening February 2021
Out of all of our new hotel openings for next year, this is the one we’re most excited about. With luxury hotels already in New York, LA and Vegas, NoMad London throws open its doors in February 2021.
While our fave NYC based NoMad is Parisian inspired, this first international outpost for the brand will see the NoMad London hotel draw its inspiration from the colourful past of the building itself – the former Bow Street Magistrates Court in Covent Garden where The Krays and Oscar Wilde stood trial.
With Sydell Group’s Andrew Zobler joining forces with interior design geniuses Roman and Williams, the result is a combo of antique furnishings and new bespoke pieces, ultimate luxury and underlying mystery with an emphasis on excellence in every sense. Rooms range from classic through to the Royal Opera Suite and each includes mosaic bathrooms and keyless entry.
With a glass ceilinged all day dining atrium restaurant at its heart, food will feature heavily with Exec Chef Ian Coogan at the helm. Side Hustle will serve Mexican inspired sharer plates and agave-based drinks, and the Library will offer breakfast, light fare through the day, and wine and small places in the evening. It’s definitely set to be our new London fetish.
Room start at £400. You can book now by clicking here and check out their awesomeness on Instagram here.
The Londoner, London’s Leicester Square – Opening Spring 2021
Launching as the world’s first ‘super boutique hotel’, The Londoner, occupying a prime spot in London’s legendary Leicester Square, has cost over £300 million to build. Bringing ‘a new definition of lifestyle’, contemporary designer Yabu Pushelberg has pushed the boundaries across 16 stunning stories with 350 rooms and suites offering luxury boutique hotel style to satisfy the modern traveller’s every whim.
Offering up innovative Japanese cuisine and a new take on Mediterranean flavour, The brand new Londoner hotel will play host to a signature restaurant, a rooftop bar and a gastro tavern, while its very own private club The Residence will showcase three intimate yet sociable, seamless spaces. Watch out for this one, it’s going to be pretty special. Room rates from £500. Follow on Instagram.

Kingsland Locke in Dalston – Opening Early 2021
Locke will launch its fourth London property in early 2021 with Kingsland Locke in the heart of Dalston. With 124 stylish apartments as well as a contemporary co-working space, on-site micro-brewery and gin distillery, Kingsland Locke will fit perfectly into Dalston’s eclectic neighbourhood with vibrant spaces, while the design inspiration comes straight from the surrounding area with raw textures and a muted palette – courtesy of local studio Red Deer.
With all day restaurant, workout studio and coffee shop to boot, the focal point of the hotel will be its lower ground floor atrium transitioning seamlessly from relaxing day space into a lively evening hang out. Follow on Instagram here.
Mondrian Shoreditch – Opening Spring 2021
As The Curtain falls on, well, The Curtain, a phoenix rises from the ashes. This particular phoenix is Accor and SBE’s Mondrian Shoreditch, set to open in Spring 2021.
Mondrian’s sixth hotel will be its European flagship (following Mondrian Southbank’s switch to Sea Containers London in 2019). While the relaunch will see an update and some basic renovation to the hotel, The Curtain Members’ Club will remain.
The 120 room property will offer up a brand new dining experience with world famous Spanish chef Dani Garcia bringing some flare and innovation to Shoreditch, while The Rumpus Room (previously of Sea Containers), will take over the stunning rooftop lounge.

With lavish interiors and a personalised service which will be second to none, Broadwick Soho’s interiors will exude ‘gritty glamour’ courtesy of Brudnizki who has described the hotel as “your eccentric godmother’s Soho townhouse.”
Including one penthouse and nine suites, the rooms will offer a residential feel, while many have private balconies overlooking the hustle and bustle of Soho. Randall and Aubin founders Jamie Poulton and chef Ed Baines have been appointed to take over food and beverage, offering an Italian street level restaurant and rooftop cocktail bar with incredible views.

Beaverbrook Town House in Chelsea – Opening Summer 2021
Cadogan will team up with Beaverbrook next year in a partnership which will see the creation of a new boutique hotel on Sloane Street.
With aspirations to deliver a luxurious haven featuring 14 suites – each named after celebrated London theatres, Cadogan’s new offering will appeal to both those who are local to Chelsea, while meeting the needs of the stylish traveller.
Incorporating a 60 cover Japanese restaurant and bar and located just a stones’ throw from all the luxury food and shopping outlets that Chelsea offers up, this will be Beaverbrook’s second property, after transforming Lord Beaverbrook’s mid-19th Century estate with a £90 million renovation in 2017 in Surrey.

The new five star Fairmont Windsor Park will open in early 2021, with a sprawling country estate set across stunning landscaped gardens.
With over 200 luxuriously styled rooms and 13 meeting rooms, the new Fairmont Windsor Park will provide a commitment to wellness throughout the hotel with a 2,500 square metre spa which will include a salt room and Japanese foot spa and indoor and outdoor pools.
