Yotel has announced plans to open its third UK hotel in late 2018, which will be situated in Central London’s creative quarter of Clerkenwell at 96-100 Clerkenwell Road.
Regarded as the epicentre of London’s design and architecture scene and a leader in the UK’s Tech Nation programme, Clerkenwell is ideal for Yotel's first city centre hotel in Europe
The project, developed by Medina Investments, has already broken ground and is set to open in late 2018. The hotel will offer 212 cabins which will be equipped with Yotel's revolutionary technology-driven hospitality offering.
The compact but luxurious cabins will include Yotel’s signature space saving adjustable SmartBedTM, monsoon rain shower, techno-wall features, which includes mood lighting and entertainment options, with smart TVs.
Additional facilities include a gym, bar, an independently operated dining outlet and Yotel’s Club Lounge concept, which offers flexible meeting and co-working spaces that will be designed in keeping with the surrounding area. All cabins and communal areas of the hotel will be served by super-fast and free WiFi connectivity
Yotel’s CEO Hubert Viriot said, “We are more than ready to bring the Yotel city-centre concept home. Since the opening of our flagship in New York, we have been looking for the right opportunity and we finally found it in Clerkenwell.
'The mixed-use project, developed by Medina Investments, complements the Yotel brand perfectly. It’s dynamic, creative and forward-thinking and backed by a developer with acumen and vision.”
The hotel will benefit from the impending arrival of Crossrail to Farringdon Station, set to complete in 2018 and forecasted to be one of the most popular stations on the new line.
