Five star hotel opens at The Brewery

London’s newest five star hotel has opened its doors on the site of the former Whitbread & Co brewery in the heart of the City.

The Montcalm London City at The Brewery soft launched on Monday 23 May, with the official grand opening being held at the end of September.

The Grade II listed building has been transformed into a contemporary five star hotel while staying true to its past.

Following the soft launch, 100 rooms are now available with all the luxurious amenities expected of a top London hotel, including a butler service for the suites and studios, an executive Club Lounge, room service, meetings and banqueting rooms catering for 10-100 guests.

The hotel also features a contemporary British restaurant and cocktail bar called The Chiswell Street Dining Rooms, run by ETM, the team behind The Botanist and The Cadogan Arms.

A further 135 rooms – making the complete hotel offering up to 235 rooms and suites, a wellness centre and a gastro pub – will be fully opened by the end of September.

Formerly the site of Whitbread & Co, Britain’s first purpose-built mass production brewery, the original building dates back from as early at 1750 when Samuel Whitbread moved his brewing operations to Chiswell Street on the “eastern rim of Georgian London”.

The last beer was brewed there in 1976, when the site was then turned into Whitbread’s head office and then a conference and banqueting centre, known simply as The Brewery.

For meetings and banqueting there are six meeting rooms with natural daylight offering the latest audio visual and technological facilities.

Opening rates from 23 May to 15 September start from £160 plus tax. From 16 September, rooms start from £315 plus tax.
