First Look: The Newman hotel in London’s Fitzrovia opens its doors

The Newman, the first hotel from international hospitality management company Kinsfolk & Co, has finally opened its doors in London’s Fitzrovia.

The 81-bedroom property is being led by general manager Oliver Milne-Watson, who is working closely with Kinsfolk & Co’s founder, Paul Brackley, formerly of the Beaumont in London’s Mayfair.

Designed by London-based studio Lind + Almond, the hotel takes its inspiration from the neighbourhood’s bohemian residents, such as Nancy Cunard, and features a contemporary Art Deco aesthetic.

The Newman also features a Penthouse Suite complete with a private terrace, sauna and ice plunge, available for exclusive use. Amenities include LED face masks and yoga mats.

Each of the standard rooms feature wellness mini-bars stacked with CBD sleep patches, essential oils and Anatomē scents.

The hotel’s F&B offering consists of all-day European restaurant Brasserie Angelica, which features a bespoke sandwich trolley, and the underground Gambit Bar, which will host in-house DJs and regular chess nights.
