The UK’s 10 hottest hotel openings of 2022

From the slick Hotel Amano in London to the iconic Gleneagles Townhouse in Edinburgh, here’s a peak at this year’s most exciting new hotels

Bringing slick Germanic design and affordable rooms to an area usually known for sky-high rates, the Amano, which is due to open this spring, is the first international outpost of the Berlin-based hotel chain. Housed in a former office building on Covent Garden’s Drury Lane, the hotel will have 141 rooms, ranging from the super-cosy right up to luxurious suites, giving it appeal across all budgets. The Amano’s sky bar and rooftop terrace, which will host DJs at weekends, will be the big draw in the spring and summer, while the restaurant and basement bar will have a moody, dimly lit, Berlin-style vibe.
