Why you should experience The BoTree London, Curio Collection in London, England.
The BoTree London, Curio Collection is a fashion-forward luxury hotel where Marylebone's independent character, Mayfair polish, contemporary design culture and creative commerce converge within a sculptural modern building on Marylebone Lane.
Set along Marylebone Lane near Henrietta Place and just steps from St. Christopher's Place, the hotel rises on the former Welbeck Street car park site within a building conceived by EPR Architects, whose curved masonry elevations respond to the unusually prominent junction between Marylebone Lane and Oxford Street. The Brick Development Association highlights the exterior's specially developed black glazed bricks, pale masonry and bronze-toned metalwork, giving the large building a material character distinct from the surrounding Portland stone and Victorian brickwork. EPR Architects shaped the exterior while Amsterdam studio Concrete developed the interior architecture, establishing a collaboration between British architectural practice and Dutch hospitality design at one of Marylebone's busiest gateways. The result is a hotel where EPR Architects, Concrete and a highly specific masonry composition translate Marylebone's creative independence into contemporary architecture.
What you should know about The BoTree London.
The BoTree London, Curio Collection is best known for opening in September 2023 as a 199-room hotel containing 30 suites and becoming the first property developed under Place III Hotels, the hospitality platform created by Shiva Hotels founder Rishi Sachdev around a philosophy it calls Conscious Luxury. Concrete completed the 15,000-square-meter interior program across 14 floors, with creative director Rob Wagemans leading a team including Melanie Knüwer, Hilka Ackermann, Sylvie Meuffels and Daisy Koppendraaier while Shiva Hotels served as client. The studio conceived 100 square meters of lobby space and a 176-square-meter BoTree Bar alongside the accommodation collection, giving the opening property a comprehensively authored interior rather than a collection of independently designed rooms. Condé Nast Johansens subsequently named The BoTree Best New Property, while general manager Eva Mount received General Manager of the Year at the 2024 Boutique Hotelier Awards and appeared among The Brit List 2024's Top 25 Hoteliers.
Tao Group Hospitality extended the hotel's international creative network through LAVO, bringing the Italian restaurant concept associated with its New York and Los Angeles operations to London as the property's principal dining address. LAVO established a distinctive culinary style around coastal Italian cooking, handmade pasta, seafood and its 20-layer chocolate and peanut-butter cake, connecting The BoTree with a restaurant character already developed across major American hospitality markets. Hilton subsequently brought the property into Curio Collection by Hilton, adding the independently conceived Marylebone hotel to a global collection built around individually characterized properties while retaining The BoTree name and LAVO identity. Together, Rishi Sachdev, Rob Wagemans, Eva Mount, Tao Group Hospitality and Curio Collection by Hilton trace The BoTree London, Curio Collection from an independently conceived 2023 debut into an internationally affiliated hotel whose architecture, interiors, gastronomy and leadership remain attached to identifiable creative authors.
How to fold The BoTree London into your trip.
The BoTree London, Curio Collection works as the anchor for an afternoon tracing eighteenth-century collecting, musical performance and British broadcasting through Marylebone.
Begin at The Wallace Collection, where five generations of the Hertford family and Sir Richard Wallace assembled paintings, furniture, porcelain, sculpture and arms before Lady Wallace bequeathed the collection to Britain in 1897 and Hertford House opened publicly in 1900. Continue to Wigmore Hall, where the Bechstein piano company commissioned architect Thomas Edward Collcutt to create a concert hall opened in 1901, establishing an acoustically renowned performance space subsequently renamed during the First World War. Conclude at BBC Broadcasting House, where George Val Myer's Art Deco headquarters opened in 1932 and brought radio production into a purpose-built institutional center crowned by Eric Gill's sculptural program. The progression moves from the Hertford-Wallace collecting dynasty through Collcutt's chamber-music architecture into George Val Myer's broadcasting headquarters, revealing the collecting, performance and media traditions surrounding The BoTree London, Curio Collection.
