Frogmore hosted a topping out ceremony at its 173-bedroom ‘Ruby Zoe’ hotel redevelopment on Notting Hill Gate, the latest redevelopment of the 3.11-acre estate which was acquired by Frogmore in 2015.
Construction of the hotel started in August 2021 with contractor Gilbert-Ash targeting practical completion in Q1 2023.
Ruby Zoe, the second Ruby Group hotel to be launched in the UK, is on course to open in Q1 2023.
The new hotel over, basement, ground floor and six upper floors has been designed by Squire and Partners.
Jo Allen, chief executive for Frogmore, said: “We’re thrilled to be celebrating this milestone with Ruby Hotels and delighted to help the Ruby Group grow its portfolio of hotels across London. We hope that Ruby Zoe is a welcome addition to the vibrant Notting Hill community, with the hotel bar and café reactivating the street frontage.”
Matthew Balon, head of design at Ruby Hotels, added: “The creation of high-quality local jobs was an important consideration in the planning case for Notting Hill Gate. The contractor Gilbert-Ash employed a number of neighbourhood residents for the build project and with the development now topping out, we’re a step closer to recruiting for new roles at Ruby Zoe.”
