“The opening of The Other House Covent Garden marks an exciting new chapter for our brand, blending our commitment to sustainability, fun and innovative design with the rich heritage of this iconic neighbourhood, ” commented Naomi Heaton, CEO and Founder of The Other House. “We look forward to introducing this next addition to our Resident Club collection and welcoming guests and residents to this distinctive new House.”
Located in the historic Wellington Block, in the heart of Covent Garden, the property comprises seven historic buildings, including a former rectory, around a striking five-storey glazed atrium. The architecture blends the elegance of the past with contemporary flair, including a new, three-storey addition to the building, offering iconic views across London’s skyline.
Setting a new benchmark in the sustainable renovation of a multi-building plot, The Other House showcases its usual commitment to cutting-edge, eco-conscious practices, both in the construction and future operation of the building. The building itself is made from FSC-certified timber and low-carbon concrete, significantly reducing the building’s environmental footprint. Impressively, 92.5 per cent of site waste has been diverted from landfill, showcasing The Other House’s dedication to reducing waste. With a BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent,’ this development exemplifies the future of green urban living.

Appointed as Creative Sustainability Advisors to the brand, VIN + OMI will bring their innovative guidance and designs to various elements of the property. This forward-thinking approach ensures that sustainability is woven into the very fabric of the building, from construction materials to operational practices and interior design.
In the brand’s signature format, combining service, local amenities and generous accommodation with the lifestyle elevation of a private members club, The Other House Covent Garden’s members spaces won’t disappoint. Accessible to residents who come and stay and external members, the club will include design-led lounges, including the statement atrium, wellness and fitness spaces, a vitality pool and an exciting calendar of events, partnerships and activations.

The Other House’s signature Club Flats have been designed to offer luxurious, self-contained spaces that blend the convenience of a hotel with the comforts of an apartment. All include ample living space, a full-stocked kitchenette, separate bedroom area and ensuite bathroom with rainfall shower.
Already setting a trend in South Kensington, The Other House Covent Garden’s distinctive ‘British Maximalist’ interiors will feature dramatic, theatrical and Art Deco-inspired designs, with many nods to the neighbourhood’s distinctive history and culture, creating a bold, immersive environment for both residents and members. Originally working with Bergman Design House, interiors at The Other House Covent Garden have been reconceptualised by their own in-house design team.
Residents and members alike will enjoy access to The Other House Covent Garden’s wellness and fitness facilities, featuring a subterranean vitality pool, sound bath, treatment rooms, and a state-of-the-art gym. For those seeking to relax and unwind, the private club provides a serene escape from the bustle of Covent Garden. The exclusive rooftop bar offers 360-degree views over London, making it a standout location for chilling or entertaining.
In keeping with its dedication to offering unique and memorable experiences, The Other House Covent Garden will house the latest outpost of its destination cocktail bar, Owl & Monkey, and the relaxed all-day dining brasserie, The Other Kitchen. The exclusive rooftop bar, The Peacock Lounge, will sit above the Covent Garden roofline, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of London’s iconic landmarks, including the River Thames, Saint Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster, Tower Bridge and The Shard.
With Covent Garden slated for 2025 and future plans for a Resident’s Club in Belgravia, The Other House continues to redefine contemporary accommodation for modern travellers. By combining the flexibility of apartment-style living with the services of a high-end hotel and amenities for the local area, all in a sustainable, exclusive environment, The Other House sets a new standard for extended-stay properties.
