Stephen Nash named general manager at Other House Covent Garden

Stephen Nash has been appointed general manager at the Other House Covent Garden hotel in London ahead of its opening in the final quarter of the year.

He joins the aparthotel and private members’ club from luxury trackside hotel Escapade Silverstone, where he led on the launch of the £80m development, which features 60 luxury residences and a private clubhouse.

Nash has also worked across Germany, Italy and the UK over his two decades in hospitality, with companies such as Boscolo Hotels, Marriott International and Precise Hotels.

His appointment coincides with the growth of the Other House brand, which opened its first site in London’s South Kensington in 2022 and is looking to expand into Belgravia.

Nash will work closely with chief executive and founder Naomi Heaton as the business looks to broaden its Residents’ Club offering with its second London site.

Heaton said: “Stephen’s exceptional expertise in launching standout properties and his genuine commitment to guest experience and innovation make him the perfect fit to lead the Other House Covent Garden. We look forward to watching him bring his energy, insight and leadership to this new chapter.”

Nash added: “It’s a real honour to join the Other House and be part of such a visionary and dynamic brand. I’m excited to work alongside Naomi et al to create something truly special in Covent Garden – building a world-class team and delivering an experience that feels like our residents’ other house for as long as they are in town.”

The Other House Covent Garden is situated near the Covent Garden piazza and occupies seven buildings conjoined by a glazed atrium.

It is set to feature cocktail bar Owl & Monkey, all-day café the Other Kitchen, a wellness centre, gym and rooftop bar. Rates will start from £350 a night for a Club Flat.

The Other House was created by the Portfolio Club, a joint Anglo-Dutch venture between Heaton’s real estate investment advisory company London Central Portfolio (LCP) and Netherlands-based pension provider APG.
