3. Where to Stay: The London Edition Hotel [Website] @EditionHotels
Located in London's Berners Street (just a block off the hustle and bustle of London's Oxford Street), is the newly opened London Edition Hotel. We got a chance to check out the brand new hotel even before Harry Styles,
Kate Moss, and
Cara Delevigne had a chance to look around the space
for the W Magazine September Issue party.
Ben Pundole, (left) VP of Brand Experience, took us around Ian Schrager's latest venture with the Marriott Hotels. The hotel, complete with a restaurant decked in paintings by Johannes Vermeer and a bar inspired by contemporary artist Christian Liaigre, is becoming the go-to spot for international jet-setters like
Alexa Chung,
Meredith Melling Burke,
Chelsea Leyland, and
Amy Sacco.
Check out the photos from our tour below.
Berners Tavern: With ten restaurants and a few Michelin stars under his belt, Jason Atherton launched his fourth London venture in the hotel's lobby.
‘I’m really excited to be working with Ian Schrager and Marriott. The menu is simple yet elegant, using the best of British ingredients and change of seasons.’ – Jason Atherton
Keeping with the theme of the hotel, Atherton and head chef Phil Carmichael serve contemporary British dishes for an all day dining experience. Set within a grand dining room and offering plush banquette seating, Berners Tavern is the spot for local foodies and international guests alike.
Check out the exclusive photos from The Punch Room, below, in the back of the hotel. The den is inspired by English manor libraries and nineteenth century private clubs.
