A round-up of the latest hotel openings and relaunches, from Issue 1 (August ’25)
Barely two months after The Hoxton, Florence’s launch, Ennismore strikes again – this time, with a 214-room hotel in the Scottish capital, spread across 11 knocked-together Georgian townhouses. The brand’s signature open-house concept is in full swing, drawing in locals and guests alike with an all-day lobby lounge and laid-back Italian restaurant, Patatino. Close to Princes Street, in the heart of Haymarket, it offers Old Town roots, new-school rhythm. Doubles from £150 per night.
It’s not every day you get to cook in a great hall beneath an original hammerbeam roof, flanked by vast stone fireplaces once used for turning spits. But that’s exactly what’s on offer at the 12th-century Calverley Old Hall, just outside Leeds. Drama-loving cooks can take centre stage under the minstrel’s gallery, while history buffs will swoon over the Tudor painted chamber uncovered during the £5 million renovation. The Landmark Trust’s latest release makes a great base for parties of up to ten, with plenty nearby to explore – not least Bavette, a bistro that nods to Calverley’s Anglo-French past. From £45pp per night (3 nights minimum).

Tapping into the ever-growing demand for serviced apartments, Chinnery House has arrived in Pimlico – all lofty Victorian proportions and parquet floors. Sleeping up to four, they offer guests the chance to live like locals in one of London’s loveliest postcodes, while enjoying crisp linen, Urban Apothecary amenities and optional breakfast hampers delivered to the door. Apartments from £259 per night.

Last year, Merlin Labron-Johnson’s Michelin- starred Osip relocated from Bruton’s high street to a 300-year-old Georgian pub just outside town. This summer, four elegant bedrooms have opened above the restaurant, meaning that not only can guests roll upstairs after the ten-course tasting menu (£125pp or £95pp at lunch), but also jump out of bed for a breakfast spread that includes hay-smoked trout, sorrel juice and what the team affectionately call ‘a butter mountain’.
The setting is unmistakably Somerset: think rampant wildflowers, long-lashed native cattle and gently rolling farmland as far as the eye can see. But don’t be fooled by the pastoral calm: every detail is executed with precision, with the star chef (and his young brigade) sending out the same kind of creative, cleverly composed dishes that have earned him a devoted following. Doubles from £240 per night, including breakfast.
