With a name so logical it would make Dr Spock proud, the ‘Nobu Hotel Shoreditch in London’ will arrive in early 2016. From none other than Nobu Matsuhisa, the 156-bedroom hotel will be located in Willow Street, reports Caterer and Hotelkeeper.

The hotel will feature a restaurant with menus developed by Matsuhisa, banqueting and meeting rooms, and a fitness centre. The restaurateur and hotelier is also developing operations in Chicago, Miami Beach, Manila, Riyadh and Bahrain. He and Robert De Niro have 25 restaurants worldwide, including two in Mayfair.
