Soft launch for the Montcalm London City

The Montcalm Group has completed the soft launch of its new hotel in the heart of London - The Montcalm London City at The Brewery - following an overhaul of a former brewery.

Housed in the Grade II-listed former Whitbread and Co premises, the hotel currently offers 100 rooms and is due to be officially unveiled at the end of September. A further 135 rooms will be made available later this year, as well as a wellness centre using Elemis and Aqua de Palma products. The products will also be available in guest rooms.

The Chiswell Street Dining Rooms - a contemporary British restaurant and cocktail bar run by ETM - is now open, with a gastro pub to be added to the dining options by September. Dating back around 260 years, the original building was one of Britain's first purpose-built mass production breweries after Samuel Whitbread moved his operations to the site.
