The Edwardian Group London has announced the appointment of New York and Toronto based design firm Yabu Pushelberg to help develop a new ‘luxury lifestyle’ hotel in Leicester Square, London.
Yabu Pushelberg worked with Ian Schrager on the London Edition which opened last year and they are currently working together on the Miami Edition.
The successful interior design firm also designed The Four Seasons in Toronto and St Regis in San Francisco.
Jasminder Singh, CEO of Edwardian Group said, “We see this project as transformational for the whole of the Edwardian Group London, in that we intend to compete with the global stable of top lifestyle and business hotels with a bespoke brand and guest experience.
'The appointment of Yabu Pushelberg reinforces our professional design team and commitment to reaching ‘best in class’ for this new hotel.'
The hotel will feature 360 bedrooms, two cinemas, a swimming pool and spa, bar areas and a range of restaurants. The hotel is expected to open in 2017.
