Imbiba to open House of Gods hotel at Canary Wharf

Specialist leisure, lifestyle and entertainment investor Imbiba has agreed a new deal with Canary Wharf Group (CWG) to open a 65,000 sq ft multi-purpose hotel at 12 Bank Street. 

The new building in the heart of Canary Wharf will open in 2025 housing several of Imbiba’s brands including a 78-bedroom House of Gods Hotel, a music venue, a rooftop bar overlooking Eden Dock as well as a new events facility to be operated by Camm and Hooper. 

The venue is located adjacent to the new Eden Dock – an “urban oasis” providing access to the water and green spaces designed to enhance biodiversity at Canary Wharf.

Stuart Fyfe, MD of retail, leisure and hospitality at CWG, said: “Imbiba will deliver a spectacular new 65,000 sq ft hospitality and leisure venue at Canary Wharf. Their line-up of world class brands will further enrich the provision of evening entertainment, provide event venues, and bring another hotel to the Wharf. 

“We continue to enhance the offer at Canary Wharf across retail, leisure, hospitality and competitive socialising to curate a thriving seven-day destination for all those who work, live and visit the wharf. Visitors to Canary Wharf are at an all-time high, 7.5% up year to date compared to 2023 which saw 67.2m visitors and we continue to see strong demand across our retail, leisure and hospitality offer with 97% occupancy.”

Imbiba has more than 25 years of investment and operating experience and its companies include Farmer J, Pizza Pilgrims, F1 Arcade, 1Rebel, Little Houses Group, Clays, and House of Gods.  

Kieran Sherlock, partner and property director at Imbiba, added: “Imbiba has a long-standing and very successful partnership with CWG, which this investment seeks to build on further. Canary Wharf is becoming a world-class destination for hospitality and leisure. We cannot wait to bring our exciting and cutting-edge concepts to this truly remarkable building in the very heart of Canary Wharf.”
