Head Housekeeper

Hyde London City marks the rebirth of a London icon. This lavish seven-storey, 111-room property at 15 Old Bailey draws upon a rich and storied past to create a luxurious, bespoke hideaway in the heart of the city. Hyde London City will be a destination unto itself, hosting unmatched experiences for locals and ultimately the discerning global traveller.

Hyde is embracing an evolved brand identity that is all about a festival vibe with music at its core. Hyde perfectly balances an elevated bohemian-chic aesthetic with a youthful, laidback ambience. The spaces are defined by vibrant colours and are designed to encourage serendipitous connections and new discoveries around every corner.  Hyde is all about the freedom and personal discovery that comes with great music, time with friends and connecting with something bigger.

Leydi is our Modern Turkish restaurant bringing the all-day food culture of Istanbul to London from breakfast until late with expertly-prepared mangal meat & fish, heritage grain wood-fired breads, low intervention wines and a sophisticated and fun ambience.

Black Lacquer is our contemporary underground private hire cocktail bar and an event space where eclectic music is celebrated and the same singular approach is taken to the sound as to the drinks. Whatever the time or day, Black Lacquer always delivers top-notch hospitality.
