Host

Middle Eight

Middle Eight is a new lifestyle luxury hotel in Central London, Covent Garden; more than a place to stay, it will inspire and delight the people who come through our doors and those in the local community.

The hotel is at the forefront of creating hotels as we believe they should be: hotels that combine lifestyle luxury with purpose. As we embark on this journey, we are looking for colleagues who are passionate about the environment and the community; ideally you may also already be engaged in volunteering or charity projects.

The design led interior within the landmark building considers the village it is in, reflecting some of the vibe inside the hotel.  The underlying design them is based around the elements, earth, wood, stone, trees, water and is evident throughout the hotel.

180 bedrooms including 12 one-bedroom suites, some of them with outside terrace space and others with external areas for guests to enjoy.

The Hotel entrance leads into the vast double-height, light-flooded space of Sycamore Bar and Restaurant an open plan bar and cicchetti counter and a more intimate dining space showcasing an open kitchen serving a regional inspired Italian menu with sharing and grazing options; a real destination in the heart of London.

Our public areas will be destinations where guests will love to hang out; The Balcony, our luxury bar on the mezzanine, QT a vibrant basement bar for music, performance and events and a fully equipped residents gym are just some of the amazing facilities the hotel has to offer.
