Hollywood star, Robert De Niro, is a member of a small team behind plans to build a new 83-bedroom boutique hotel in London’s Covent Garden. The group has submitted plans to merge six historic buildings to form the Wellington Hotel.

The historic façades would be retained and incorporated into the new hotel. Internally the Wellington Hotel would include spa facilities, two restaurants and a members’ club built around a central courtyard conservatory.

The Wellington Hotel will be located near the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden.

If the plans are approved by Westminster City Council work would begin on the development in 2017, with construction due for completion in 2019.

Robert De Niro is no hotel-virgin. His team is behind the internationally renowned Greenwich Hotel in New York’s Tribeca district.

Dakota Deluxe Glasgow has just opened.

The seven-storey Dakota Deluxe Glasgow has 83 bedrooms including 11 suites. It features a bar and grill as well as a Champagne Room.

The hotel’s Corporate Boardroom will seat up to ten delegates and is equipped with an ultra high definition interactive 55” flatpanel display, full integration with HDMI connectivity and a high fidelity sound system.

Dakota Deluxe, as the name implies, will be a higher-spec hotel than the two existing Dakota Hotels located on the outskirts of Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Dakota Deluxe Glasgow is located in West Regent Street in the centre of Glasgow. It is a short walk from Glasgow’s Charing Cross station.

A second Dakota Deluxe opens in Leeds later in 2016.
