Nick Jones knows a thing or two about hotels. Thirty years ago, he opened the very first Soho House above his Greek Street restaurant Cafe Boheme, kicking off what would become an worldwide empire of members-only hotels, with more than 40 outposts across Europe, North America and Asia. So, it’s big news that Jones is now opening his first hotel since stepping down as Soho House’s CEO in 2022. 

St Clement Hotel will open at 180 the Thames in 2026. It’ll sit above Jones’ recently opened Corner Shop 180 on Arundel Street. which is home to a huge salad bar, an ice cream counter, a deli full of products from independent London brands and a well-stocked wine bar. As it happens, Soho House’s flagship 180 House is just a stone’s throw away. 

There’s not loads of information about the hotel at this stage. All we know so far is that it’ll have 90 bedrooms, 15 apartments, a gym and a rooftop restaurant. Oh, we also know that the bath amenities will be provided by English perfumer Lyn Harris. 

The hotel will be in good company. The complex at 180 the Thames is already home to Time Out favourites like the delicious Toklas Bakery, the west African-inspired eatery Ikoyi and art gallery 180 The Strand, as well as a collection of offices and studios.
