The owner of Blakes Hotel has received planning consent to create a new 30-bedroom luxury hotel near the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square in central London.
The new hotel will be Blakes’ second property in London joining the group’s existing hotel in South Kensington.
The new hotel will include an informal, all-day Parisian-style brasserie restaurant serving a contemporary menu based around locally sourced organic and biodynamic ingredients.
Other facilities will include a private members’ club and bar.
The new hotel will stretch across three historic former office buildings at 22 Grosvenor Square, 43 North Audley Street and 1 Lees Place.
The development is part of a wider effort by Grosvenor Estates to rejuvenate its holdings across Mayfair as a place to live, work and visit.
