New London Hotel The BoTree Announces July 2023 Launch
The city’s hottest new hotel opening will capture the elegant vibrancy of Mayfair and the village-like feel of Marylebone.
New luxury hotel The BoTree has announced its grand opening in July 2023. Located in the heart of London’s West End at the intersection of the affluent Marylebone and Mayfair neighbourhoods, The BoTree will capture the spirit of the city’s ‘village’ life and reflect the prestige of central London. Vibrant and elegant, the 199-room five-star hotel, complete with 29 stunning suites, will boast dynamic bars; two destination restaurants, one of which will provide spectacular rooftop views of the city; a live music club; boutique screening room and fitness centre. Sister property to the award-winning Middle Eight and The Guardsman hotels, The BoTree will open as a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ prestigious Legend Collection.
Founder of The BoTree, Middle Eight and The Guardsman, Rishi Sachdev says of the opening; “The BoTree combines uncompromising standards with a purpose-driven approach to establish our own form of luxury. Conscious luxury. Our core values of Truth, Love and Compassion will drive our business decisions in this new hotel.”
Set to be one of London’s most exciting openings in 2023, The BoTree is located at the top end of Marylebone Lane on the border with Mayfair, blending two of London’s chicest neighbourhoods to form a vibrant, energising, and inspiring new luxury hotel. The hotel’s stunning interiors will reflect a natural extension of the lane through a series of uniquely designed luxurious spaces that have been created by award-winning Interior Designers, Concrete. With a focus on personalised service, it will comprise 199 rooms, including 29 suites, with spectacular views across the city. Additional highlights include destination restaurants and bars, and a diverse range of events and shared spaces such as a private cinema screening room, a unique club with regular live music, and a fitness centre. Architects EPR have created a stunning ‘architectural envelope’ culminating with a lattice design at the main corner entrance which trails up elegantly from the ground floor and past the Presidential suite to the top floor where the speciality restaurant and bar is located and wrapping around the building with an outdoor terrace. dpa have been fortunate to have worked on every area of the project including the lighting design to the façade and all of the public areas and rooms & suites.
