Nobu Hotel London Portman Square: A Luxurious Escape

With a Japanese gin bar, restaurant, and first-of-its-kind wellness center, the new Nobu London Portman Square is the place to find your balance.

After a buzzy December 2020 opening — followed by an unceremonious closing as London promptly re-entered COVID lockdown — Nobu Hotel London Portman Square is finally able to welcome guests once again with a few new offerings.

Exceptional Dining Experience

Its signature Nobu Restaurant will continue to be the main draw, filling the void left behind by former celebrity hotspot Nobu Berkeley Street. This vibrant sushi bar features a sleek dining room, terrace, and private event space with floor-to-ceiling windows. All the classics, including Nobu’s beloved black cod miso and yellowtail jalapeño, are served, alongside a selection of dishes uniquely tailored to the London crowd.

Prime Location

Nobu’s 13th hotel worldwide and its second in London, the Portman Square hotel is situated in Marylebone, a local’s neighborhood despite its central location. It’s home to a private garden (to which hotel guests can gain access) and some of the city’s best independent boutiques.

Lavish Accommodation

The hotel’s ultimate retreat, the Nobu penthouse, boasts two bedrooms, a dining room (perfect for ordering room service from the restaurant), a lounge, a marble bathroom with soaking tub, and an expansive terrace. Pets are not only welcome; they’re pampered as much as the humans — luxury linen company Tielle has even created dog robes for four-legged guests that can be personally monogrammed.

Unique Bar Experience

The hotel’s Roku Gin Bar, a Japanese-style gin garden, opened at the end of April, where cocktails are served among lush greenery and pink lanterns meant to evoke images of Sakura flowers. Nobu’s signature dishes can be ordered there as well.

Wellness and Fitness

Those looking to work off their sushi and gin can attend a specialized class or private session at Nobu’s first-ever Pilates studio. The wellness center also includes a gym, smoothie bar, and outdoor terrace — along with spa treatment rooms for those who prefer a more relaxed approach to their wellness journey.

With its blend of luxurious accommodations, delectable dining options, and a unique wellness experience, Nobu Hotel London Portman Square stands as a premier choice for travelers seeking both relaxation and sophistication in the heart of London.
