20 years after star chef Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa and actor Robert de Niro opened their first Nobu restaurant in New York, the idea turned into a hotel in 2013 – in Las Vegas.
Four years later, the first European branch of the small but fine chain opened in Shoreditch. Even though it is a luxury hotel, the 150 rooms and suites are intended to spread an informal atmosphere. And that is good. The London district already went through a radical change in the past years.
The former meeting point for insiders and alternatives was increasingly commercialized. As an answer to the raw, creative of East-London, the design focuses on luxurious understatement.
Each of the seven suites received a complete individual design by the designers of Studio Mica.
