Tao Group Hospitality, the global hospitality company known for its distinctive culinary and premium entertainment experiences, has partnered with new independent luxury hotel The BoTree for a “first-of-its-kind” concept in London.
Tao Group Hospitality will oversee all of the food and beverage outlets in the 199-room luxury hotel, including LAVO Ristorante, which will make its London debut when The BoTree opens this summer at the intersection of Marylebone and Mayfair.
The BoTree is set to establish a vibrant and elegant new hub in the city’s West End, and the Tao Group Hospitality-operated venues will bring its brand of culinary and entertainment-led guest experiences to the area.
LAVO Ristorante, the BoTree’s signature restaurant, will serve up coastal Italian fare and delight guests at their new location with dishes including their fresh pasta made in-house, pizzas made with whole grain, single-source flour, the Tagliatelle al Limone with kaluga caviar, the meatball made with wagyu and ricotta and others.
Noah Tepperberg, co-CEO for Tao Group Hospitality, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with The BoTree on this new dining and entertainment concept and are excited to grow our London footprint with this addition to the West End’s fine dining scene when the hotel launches this summer.
“Introducing LAVO Ristorante to the city represents a truly exciting chapter for Tao Group and our development globally, and through this collaboration, we have an opportunity to showcase the star-quality and flair associated with our Los Angeles restaurant while creating a menu and experiences that feel relevant to London and its unique energy.”
Founder of The BoTree, Rishi Sachdev said of the partnership: “My vision for The BoTree was to create a vibrant and elegant new hotel in London. Given the city’s outstanding culinary scene, it was imperative to bring something new, unparalleled, and dynamic to The BoTree.
“Renowned for its best-in-class venues, with the perfect blend of luxury, entertainment, and energy, we knew instantly Tao Group Hospitality would be aligned with our visions and values and bring the perfect chemistry to The BoTree. I am thrilled that The BoTree will be home to the first LAVO Ristorante in the U.K.”
