The rebuilt Westbury on Conduit Street hands its entire art collection to the foundation Lee Alexander McQueen established, and gives Daniel Rose his first London kitchen.
The art at The St. Regis London is chosen by an artists’ foundation rather than a hotel group. Opening this autumn at 37 Conduit Street, on the corner of Bond Street, the hotel occupies the building that was The Westbury. A full renovation has added new floors and larger public rooms, and brings it to 193 guest rooms, 66 of them suites.
A collection chosen by Sarabande
Sarabande’s House of Bandits gallery will curate and display the hotel’s entire collection: more than 1,000 works by more than 80 artists, spread across the bedrooms, suites and public rooms. Some pieces are new commissions, which St. Regis says take their cue from the neighbourhood and from the building’s own history.
Lee Alexander McQueen set up Sarabande to support the next generation of artists, and it gives scholarships and studio space from its buildings in Haggerston and Tottenham. Sotheby’s has sold from 34–35 New Bond Street since 1917, a short walk from the hotel’s corner.
Tailoring, fashion and the saleroom
Richmond International designed the interiors, and St. Regis names its references as the street’s own: the craftsmanship of Savile Row, the fashion houses of Bond Street, and the galleries and auction rooms around them. The published render of the reception and lounge shows dark green panelled pillars, a mosaic floor and orange velvet armchairs, with glazing onto the planted central courtyard.
At the top of the building, the Penthouse Suite will have a private terrace of 150 square metres with views in every direction. The brand’s habits come too. Every room has the St. Regis Butler Service, and the hotel plans Champagne sabering and Midnight Suppers, rituals St. Regis traces to John Jacob Astor IV and Caroline Astor in New York.
Le Perroquet and Daniel Rose
The restaurant is Le Perroquet, an all-day French brasserie and Daniel Rose’s first in London. It is already serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a smart casual dress code. Rose made his name in Paris at La Bourse et La Vie, then in New York at Le Coucou on Lafayette Street, which holds One Star in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide.
The bar, which will have live jazz, is due to follow the restaurant.
A private table for twelve
The hotel has two private rooms: Le Privé, at 43 square metres, and the Mayfair Maisonette, at 74. Each is set for 12 around a conference table, and neither has a published figure for a standing reception or a seated banquet. Menus for both come from Daniel Rose and chef Rob Aikens, and private dining is also offered in Le Perroquet. The hotel does not provide wedding services, and it has no ballroom.
