THE SUITE SPOT
Time to shine your shoes: London’s hotel scene is getting a
glow-up. Here’s five of the hottest openings for 2025.
The Welbeck, Marylebone
FORMERLY known as the Welbeck Palace Hotel,
this 昀椀ve-storey Edwardian building has a long history
of health-led hospitality within London’s medical
district, and once played host to the prestigious
barrister Edward Marshall Hall, during one of the
most notorious criminal trials of the early twentieth
century.
When it opens in February, The Welbeck
will boast 164 bedrooms, in-room spa services,
and a mini-gym. Ideally situated in the heart of
Marylebone, the hotel is perfect for exploring the
village and its nearby cultural attractions, such as
the Wallace Collection and Wigmore Hall.
There are rumours of artisanal donuts for
breakfast, and at the hotel’s bar, The Welbecker,
guests will be invited to try a range of signature
cocktails. Working in partnership with The Felix
Project, London’s largest food re-distribution
project, The Welbeck will be doing its bit to address
inequality in the capital. It’s a yes from us.

The Newman, Fitzrovia
GOODGE Street remains a well-kept secret in terms
of authentic London charm. From the mini-fruit
and veg market outside the station, to the dozens
of independent eateries and galleries tucked in its
pocket, this part of the West End is nowhere near
as stuffy as some of its neighbouring districts, which
is perhaps why it was so popular with the bohemian
Bloomsbury Group.
A stone’s throw from the exceedingly swanky
Charlotte Street Hotel (with its joyous Virginia Woolf
suite and Oscar Wilde-themed bar), The Newman
promises the required balance of beatnik vs
boutique to give it that all-important Fitzrovian edge.
