A glossy Shoreditch hotel where industrial chic meets Japanese hospitality and food comes first, this is the Nobu brand’s moody east London outpost
Location
A shut door from Shoreditch, Nobu brings a taste of Shibuya to the capital’s creative east London district. The hotel entrance off of Great Eastern Street is fairly unassuming given its architecturally bold casing, which is a very different tone to the brand’s first city outpost in high-end Portman Square. Here, you’re steps from both the financial district and a buzzing culinary scene, featuring big-name eateries and indie newcomers. There’s not much greenery but an abundance of art sprayed between pavements. It's less than a five-minute stomp to Shoreditch High Street and just 10 minutes to Old Street station.
