Openings: St Martins Lane

05 June 2015

The boutique hotel in London's Covent Garden has recently completed a renovation, 15 years after first opening.

Work included revitalising the in-house restaurant, Asia de Cuba, and launching a new late-night cocktail lounge, Blind Spot, designed by Tim Andreas of Banjo Ad Inc. Jason Kalisman of Morgans Hotel Group, which operates the hotels, said: "From its inception, St Martins Lane was utterly original, and we are confident that this relaunch will preserve and expand on the hotel's legacy and define what British luxury is for the next generation to come."
