A new 40-bedroom luxury hotel - Hotel L’Oscar - is set to go ahead in Holborn, central London following the agreement of a finance deal with the developers.
Hotel L’Oscar should be opening its doors in early 2018.
Hotel L’Oscar will be housed in the Grade II-listed former Baptist Church headquarters on Southampton Row in Holborn. The building fell into disuse in the early 1990s and had been on English Heritage's At Risk register.
The heritage fabric of the interiors including the Regency-style moulded plaster ceilings and marble fireplaces will all be retained and enhanced during the refurbishment.
Hotel L’Oscar will include a restaurant, a bar, a café and conference facilities.
Hotel L’Oscar will be operated by Triangle Hotels & Resorts.
