Ben said of the launch: “I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Japan several times and have worked in Asian restaurants across the globe, from Turkey and Dubai to London and Australia. My experience has certainly helped shape the menu at Issho and create eye-catching dishes that are full of flavour.”

In addition, the restaurant’s very own bar, Kori, will serve a range of sake and Japanese-inspired cocktails, such as Matcha Sour (Matcha tea, Beefeater 24 gin, elderflower cocktail, lemon juice and egg white); Suntory Fashioned (Yamazaki Distiller’s Reserve, homemade cherry liqueur, aged barrel bitters, stirred and served in a goblet glass, topped with homemade orange and cinnamon foam); and Monburan Martini (Chestnut liqueur, vanilla vodka, chocolate liqueur stirred and topped with a chestnut flavoured whipped cream) and is set to become a new destination bar with an al fresco terrace offering stunning views over the city.

An impressive variety of sushi will feature prominently on the menu including seaweed-wrapped maki of crab, tiger prawn tempura and salmon, as well as ‘Dynamite Ebi Tempura’ and a dedicated Robata grill will sit within the main dining room serving traditional ‘robatayaki’, slow-grilled over charcoal in full view of surrounding diners. Sample dishes include Maple glazed pork belly, fresh apple and wasabi; Barley miso lamb cutlets with smoked aubergine and cucumber; and Grilled iberico pluma, yuzu and daikon pickles alongside a selection of Yakitori. >>

After making ourselves at home, it was time for lunch in the newly-refurbished restaurant, Galvin at The Athenaeum, run by Michelin-starred brothers Chris and Jeff Galvin. The A La Carte menu has a very British feel, with UK-sourced ingredients used throughout.

For Starter we had the lasagne of Dorset crab with butter sauce and the smoked salmon with de-constructed Burford brown egg.

The lasagne was dainty yet stunningly delicious and the salmon was exquisite. For main, we went for a couple of meat options: the Rose county beef rib eye and the Braised shortrib with potato gnocchi.

The beef rib-eyed simply melted in the mouth and cooked to perfection, oozing flavour. The shortrib also radiated taste and the soft gnocchi, complimented the dish to perfection. The chefs cannot be praised highly enough.

To compliment the meal, we had a Sancerre Rose wine, which was light and fresh, simply perfect for a summer afternoon lunch.

Finally for dessert, we both ordered the strawberry cheesecake with meringue and strawberry sorbet. It proved to be an inspired choice, light with incredible flavour and rounded of the meal perfectly.

The food and all-round service was of the highest order. >>

The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences on Piccadilly in London’s Mayfair, is a stylish 5-star boutique Hotel, offering comfort with a luxurious touch. Overlooking Green Park, the hotel has a very natural feel, from the views over the park to the visually stunning vertical garden, running up the corner of the building. This “natural” feel is enhanced with a relaxed ambience throughout.

The hotel has 111 rooms and 12 suites and in 2016 underwent a major refurbishment to the lobby, restaurant and meeting rooms.

On arrival, the first thing we noticed was the lack of a reception desk, the check-in is done on entering the lobby, which resulted in a fast and friendly welcome. We were shown to our room which was at the front of the hotel. It had floor to ceiling windows which provided a wonderful view of the park opposite, a comfortable king-size bed and controlled air conditioning. The décor included large hooded armchairs, which were certainly eye-catching and lenticular prints on the wall. The clever use of mirrors and lighting emphasized the space in the room. The room was complimented with Nespresso coffee maker, mini fridge, Bose docking station, wi-fi and LCD flat-screen television.

As well as our regular readership, extra copies of the magazine are also distributed at hospitality trade shows, design exhibitions and many other relevant events.

Circulation Breakdown 4*and 5* Hotels & Hotel Groups - 32% The Athenaeum is perfectly located in London’s Mayfair and a credit to its owners, with all aspects and requests during our stay dealt with in a well-organized and professional manner. It offers stylish comfort for guests whether on an overnight stay in the capital or a longer-term residency – a true contemporary gem.

After the delights of such a filling and satisfying meal, the rest of the day was spent walking it off in Green Park, just across the road and Hyde Park, a stone’s throw away around the corner. I am not sure if the hotel could be more perfectly placed, to enjoy these relaxing gems.

When back in the hotel for the evening, the staff continued to be very efficient and helpful. Additional pillows were requested (different varieties were available from a “pillow menu”) and arrived in double quick time. The air-conditioning was essential for an otherwise warm, summer’s night, and this, combined with the wonderfully comfortable bed ensured a peaceful and enjoyable night’s sleep.

Breakfast at the Athenaeum was a mouth-watering affair.

Again, set in the Galvin Restaurant, there was a fine Continental buffet on offer: fresh fruit, cold meats and cheeses, yoghurt, fish and wide selection of pastries.

In addition, from the “hot” menu, we chose the full English breakfast, and the Eggs Royale. The cooking and flavours could not be faulted and left us feeling well-nourished and extremely satisfied.

Steven Brazil, General Manager at DoubleTree by Hilton in Kingston said, “Aesthetically we were looking to create a modern and industrial décor and the Bright Goods LED filament lamps definitely helped us achieve this. They look fantastic and we have received some really positive feedback from our hotel guests who have commented on their vintage-modern design. We wanted to incorporate ‘mood lighting’ which could be altered throughout the day and into the evening and as these lamps are fully controllable, and can be dimmed when required, they were exactly what we were looking for.”

- Quarter Page £625 Leading LED filament brand Bright Goods announces its installation into Kingston’s brand new DoubleTree Hilton Hotel. The range of decorative, vintage-style LED filament lamps with a huge designer following is lighting up the ground floor public areas including the reception, lobby and restaurant. The project has been specified and managed by interior design architects, DesignLSM in conjunction with The Light Corporation.

The Florence 6W sepia tinted maxi globes, for example are hung bare and installed in clusters amongst the copper pipework that runs around the perimeter of the restaurant, giving a contemporary industrial feel.

The Elizabeth 3W candles, Joseph 5W GLS’, Jane 6W sepia tinted classic pears and John 6W long tubes are installed throughout the reception area, lobby, lounge, kitchen, bar and restaurant area providing the ultimate warm and cosy glow for all visitors.

Valdivian also developed the curved bolster back chairs specifically for the project for private use in the atmospheric mah-jong games rooms.

The mahogany wood and deep emerald tones are both elegant and precise and compliment the linear edges of the seating. The feature lighting creates a spotlight feel which is both relaxing and romantic, adding to the vintage ambience of the space.

Valdivian have accentuated this vintage style with the solid ash wood which is stained in dark oak and the blackened steel coating that creates an almost industrial feel.

The Light Corporation was commissioned to design a lighting system that not only complemented the aviation theme but provided warm and elegant illumination throughout. An impressive range of Bright Goods LED filament lamps was specified to enhance distinct areas of the hotel. The lamps, all in 2.2K very warm colour temperatures highlight the various shaped LED filaments and create a welcoming, atmospheric ambience.

A team from Black and White Hospitality has raised £54,857 following a 320-mile London to Paris bike ride in July.

This week, the team presented the cheque to the Action Medical Research for Children charity.

Headed by Nick Taplin, chairman of Black and White Hospitality, the 35-strong team included co-owner Caroline Wilce and director Shezan Aslam.

Jason Eaton, the group director at TheClub and Mehmet Kandemir, the general manager at Cadbury House also took part.

A host of other riders also took part including John Dowling, general Double manager at DoubleTree

by Hilton, Bristol City Centre and Chris Millard who runs the North Somerset Athletic Academy.

Emma Morgan, head of events, said: “On behalf of Action Medical Research I would just like to thank everyone at Black and White Hospitality for their support, dedication and amazing fundraising achievements.

The 81-bedroom hotel and conference centre in the Black Country has been bought by Redwings Lodge Group, a multiple hotel operator which currently has several sites in south east and central England.

“Black and White’s generosity and effort helps make a difference for sick and vulnerable babies, children affected by disabilities and those with infections and rare diseases. Thank you for doing so much to help save and change children’s lives.”

The ride was organised by Discover Adventure and set off from Crystal Palace on Wednesday 19 July where the team made its way through Kent towards Dover.

After a ferry trip they then stayed in Calais before heading down to Arras on day two. Day three saw the team ride through the Somme towards Compiegne and included a visit to the World War One memorial at Thiepval.

The Ramada Birmingham Hotel sold off a freehold at undisclosed price.

Charles Jones, senior business agent at Christie & Co who handled the sale, said: “Redwings Lodge is very happy to be associated with the Ramada brand and plans to extend the property, adding new restaurant space and further bedrooms.

“They are also looking to further expand their portfolio within the Birmingham and Coventry area.”

The team were then up early to ride into the French capital on Saturday 22 July, passing the Arc de Triomphe, down the Champs Elysee and finishing by the Eiffel Tower.

WORK has begun on a multi-million-pound project to transform a well-known North East pub into a 64-bedroom hotel, bar and restaurant.

The company is also putting measures in place to ensure local families, customers and businesses are kept fully briefed of the project’s progress at all stages.

North East hospitality giant Malhotra Group PLC has embarked on an 18-month, £5.6m development of Three Mile Inn, Gosforth, Newcastle.

Information boards at the site will display progress reports, a leaflet drop to Gosforth homes and businesses will keep residents abreast of the development and a specially created link on the company’s website will provide updates and answer queries.

And, as the first stage of the project gets underway, they have reassured customers that it is business as usual at the venue, which also comprises the popular Scalini’s Italian restaurant.

The development will take place in three main phases, beginning with the construction of a three-story extension, which will ultimately provide additional accommodation for the hotel.

Further phases will include the conversion of the existing building from two to three storeys and the creation of conference, function and private dining facilities, a residents’ lounge, café, bar and restaurant.

An estimated 25 jobs will be created when work is complete and the Malhotra family, who have strong links to Gosforth, hope that as well as welcoming leisure and corporate guests, the venue will become a much-used community hub for neighbouring families.

“Of all our venues, it is particularly close to my heart as I spent my early childhood living in Gosforth,” said director of operations Atul Malhotra, “and not only will we be trading as normal throughout the rest of this year, but we are of course continuing to take bookings for Christmas and the New Year.

“Our aim is to create a hotel and leisure facility which will be a real credit to Gosforth and a genuine asset to the community,” said Mr Malhotra, “and we very much hope our customers will support us, both during the transition period and once it is complete.”

Malhotra Group PLC’s Three Mile Inn development is one of several current leisure projects, which began with the recently completed £1.2m refurbishment of its Newcastle city centre Grey Street Hotel.

Future plans include a sports themed bar, new gin bar and additional bedrooms at The New Northumbria Hotel, Jesmond, while Market Lane - known as Monkey Bar - at Pilgrim Street, Newcastle, is to be fully refurbished over both floors.

In addition, Malhotra Group PLC’s care division, Prestwick Care is embarking on three new care home schemes – an 87-bedroom care facility in Alnwick which will be open by the end of 2018, a 66-bedroom care facility at Ryhope, Sunderland, which will open in early 2019 and the development of the former Rex Hotel, Whitley Bay, which will open as an 83-bedroom care facility in two years’ time.

End of Year Review Bōkan means ‘Beacon’ in Angle-Saxon and was inspired by navigational exploration and the Docklands as a destination for trade and commerce.

»» Guest Room Amenities

Their vision was for Bōkan to become a dockside guiding light for artisanal food and drink, taking inspiration from its industrial surrounds and bring to life the romance of this beautiful history. Bōkan’s core value is about sensual discovery, which infiltrates every aspect of the brand experience.

»» House Keeping

The branding and identity for Bōkan is deliberately subtle, but inspired

by Dockland life; the typography reproduces the writing on the sides of boats and crates; the little line on the top of the ‘o’ is actually the way Bōkan is written in Anglo Saxon, but also gives a nod to the concept of the beacon itself something being set on top of the actual building.

The wayfinding and signage is inspired by navigational signage and dockside tide markers, while the menus are dipped in verdigris to suggest a water line. The level of the verdigris changes according to the floor to convey the sense of shifting levels.

Mystery’s brief was to build the framework for a premium casual food concept with innovative twists on classic European dishes – to provoke nostalgia and inspire a journey of discovery.

The agency’s in-house food and beverage development team worked alongside the designers and Accor on every aspect of menu direction.

The team’s expert knowledge ensured a holistic brand experience across all aspects; from dish recommendations, wine tasting and menu structure, to equipment and kitchen design recommendations, product sourcing and crockery procurement.

In addition to the main features mentioned there will also be sections covering all major hospitality sectors in each edition.

Head chef, Aurélie Altemaire took the concept and crafted a mouthwatering menu of stunning dishes to return for, time and time again.

The 37th floor’s 65-cover restaurant showcases the best of British produce across a menu of European-inspired dishes, including locally-sourced charcuterie and cheeses, Rhug Estate grass-fed lamb cutlets, slow-smoked Blythburgh Pork Belly and Aberdeen Angus steak.

From 37 up to 39, the interior design concept takes inspiration from London’s historic Canary Wharf, with a unique and beguiling combination of industrial materials and luxury comfort.

Set atop Accor’s brand new flagship Novotel in Canary Wharf, with spectacular panoramic views across the entirety of the city, Bōkan is set to be one of London’s most exciting, high-dining and drinking destinations.

F&B and hospitality brand design agency, Mystery was first approached by Accor back in 2014, when the proposed Canary Wharf Novotel skyscraper was little more than foundations.

The three top floors had not yet been designed, but were destined for entertainment spaces benefitting from wall-to-wall perimeter glazing, with 360º views right across London.

With an existing successful relationship, Accor knew Mystery’s ambitious, creative approach and wealth of dedicated F&B experience would enable them to deliver the concept they were looking for.

The unique Docklands-chic style is further owned through the use of clever, yet subtle details referencing industrial pulleys and an imposing monolithic verdigris-aged metal staircase, that connects all three floors of Bokan and encases the iconic, feature charcuterie fridge, bread and olive oil display. Part of Mystery’s initial planning strategy was to position the staircase at the heart of the space to maximise the perimeter glazing for seating therefore taking advantage of one of the unique selling points of the site.

Weathered metals, rustic timbers and polished concrete finishes are offset by warm lighting, cushioned lounge areas and vintage rugs, with carefully selected pieces of classic furniture to create a snug, refined and luxurious, experience within an industrial setting. With floor to ceiling glazing, London’s iconic skyline features as the backdrop to the experience.

The team was briefed to transform the 37, 38 & 39th floors into a destination F&B concept that would surpass expectations at every level and attract customers from across London and indeed the world to come and build lasting experiential memories.

Bokan’s bar champions locally distilled spirits, intriguing cocktails, craft beers and a carefully thought out wine list that takes guests on a unique journey of wine exploration. There is something special about every bottle and guests will delve into their passion for wine uncovering something new each time they visit.

Working in close collaboration with Accor’s in-house team from brand inception right through to completion, Mystery managed every aspect of the concept development, down to the smallest detail. This included brand strategy and naming, food and beverage menu development, interior design, graphic design and website design.

The roof terrace on the 39th floor, boasts the highest specialist gin bar in London, with comfortable leather lounging areas, outdoor daybeds and a DJ mezzanine - perfect for intimate gatherings, while admiring the striking views of London. It’s an easygoing and informal hideaway, far from the buzz of the busy streets below.

With the amazing new building commanding a position in the heart of London’s Docklands, Mystery wanted to build a story around the rich trade history that is so inherently unique to this particular area.

Soft-launched in March, with its official launch in June, Bōkan has already received countless rave reviews, features and Instagram adulation and is destined to be one of the most talked-about venue launches of 2017.

Mystery was founded in 1998 and has offices in London and LA.
