Restaurant operator D&D London has unveiled plans to develop its first hotel after securing a deal with property company Frogmore for a new 80-bedroom property in Moorgate, London.

The 72,000sq ft (6,689sq m) boutique property will be designed by architects Allies and Morrison, while Conran and Partners - owned by D&D London's majority shareholder Sir Terence Conran - will design the hotel's interior. A ground floor bar and grill, a seventh floor rooftop restaurant and bar with an outdoor terrace, meeting and events spaces and private dining areas are also proposed as part of the hotel development.

Paul White, chief executive officer at Frogmore, said: "This will be just what this location needs and D&D has the perfect background for both this hotel and the restaurants." Construction work on the new hotel is scheduled to start in 2010, with the property set to open in 2012.
