An extraordinary new speakeasy-style club is now open in former bank vaults hidden two floors beneath Hotel Gotham. The new club and events space has been launched just ahead of Christmas by the luxurious five-star hotel.
It's the first time the secret bank vault has been open to the public - after years spent under dust and grime. Hotel bosses have lavished almost £2m to create Gilt - named in the banking and 1930s theme that the hotel is known for.
They decided to develop the space to offer a new events experience to private members, as well as hotel guests - and to members of the public, who from next year will be able to book tickets to music and club nights there. There are also private dining rooms in the old bank safes.
