With the much anticipated opening of The Newman leading the pack, February brings with it an eclectic mix of hotel openings to pique our interest. These new openings place design firmly at the centre of the guest experience – whether through thoughtful storytelling, adaptive reuse of landmark buildings, or architecture that actively shapes wellbeing and community.
The Newman
With a concept inspired by and deeply rooted in the charm and character of Fitzrovia, the hotel has been designed by London based studio Lind + Almond, known for creating spaces with an understated yet worldly eclecticism. The Newman has an elegant and refined surface underpinned by stylish, unfussy touches and eccentric quirks throughout. Every space within the hotel carries the distinct essence of Fitzrovia. With an aesthetic personality nodding to the area’s inspiring character and characters, such as Nancy Cunard, once Fitzrovia’s bohemian queen, whose iconic bangles and polka dots subtly permeate the design narrative.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
