Nobu Hotel Shoreditch appoints new GM

Nobu Hotel London Shoreditch has appointed Natasha Hargan as its new general manager.

Hargan, who has 15 years of experience in hospitality, will ensure the “ongoing profitability and success of the hotel in line with Nobu brand standards”.

Hargan joins Nobu Hotel London Shoreditch from her role as general manager at St Martins Lane London (September 2020 – May 2023), where she managed an 180-strong team.

Prior to that she also worked as acting general manager at Sanderson London which is a sister property to St Martins Lane London – both of which are now part of the Ennismore portfolio.

During her time at St Martins Lane London in 2020, she reopened the hotel twice following the global pandemic, achieving a higher profit turnover for the property in 2022 than pre-covid in 2019.

Other career milestones prior to her current appointment include tenures at Nadler Hotels, now Resident Hotels, where she assumed the role of opening general manager at the Victoria property.

Following Nobu Hotel London Shoreditch’s recent award in The Caterer’s “Top 30 places to work in hospitality 2023”, she is keen to continue to build on the “strong mental health programme, bringing this to the forefront for all team members”.

Hargan said: “I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of the Nobu Hotel London Shoreditch team. Having watched the industry change drastically over the last three-years, I believe the preferences of travellers have also shifted, and as such, it’s important that we consistently consider how to unravel the wants and needs of the modern guest – this is something I think the Nobu brand does very well. This, teamed with the Shoreditch location’s vibrant character, sets a great platform that I’m excited to further build on.”
