Property development firm Bouygues UK has announced a £26.6m contract for a new boutique hotel in London’s Shoreditch area.
The 120-room property on Curtain Road will feature a rooftop pool, a lounge overlooking the capital’s financial district, six suites, 24-hour fitness facilities, a spa and a meeting and events space.
The contract has been agreed with Michael Achenbaum, the man behind the Gansevoort Hotel Group, and will be his first such project in the UK.
Achenbaum said: “We’ve identified fantastic partners for this project and we’re excited to be bringing a new brand and eclectic energy to the area.”
Arnaud Bekaert, Bouygues’ UK MD for construction in London and the South East, said: “We are proud to have been chosen to collaborate with Michael Achenbaum as he launches his new – and first – hotel here in the UK. Michael is known for his signature lifestyle concepts and I’ve no doubt this new hotel will be equally as popular [sic], as well as diversifying his portfolio of urban retreats for discerning guests and bringing his unique style to a unique urban area within the capital.”
The hotel is scheduled for completion by summer 2016.
