Opening Shot is a column that peeks inside new hotels, restaurants, bars, and shops with interiors to drool over. Happy scrolling.
Location: White City, London
Designer: Soho House
On offer: Situated in the former BBC headquarters designed by architect Graham Dawbarn, the complex has a 1960s patina that washes over the 45 rooms, two-screen cinema, multiple club lounges, and ground-floor gastropub Allis.
Standout features: The members-only House Canteen restaurant serves plant-based dishes and Eastern classics such as dim sum and Peking duck; the rooftop pool is lined with midcentury-inspired loungers and parasols; and the guest rooms are outfitted with modernist wooden minibars and furniture upholstered with fabrics by Tibor, a longtime collaborator with the BBC.
