Chef de Partie

About

Montcalm Collection

United by timeless style and peerless service, Montcalm Collection is

London’s compendium of luxury hotels. Housed in elegant Georgian townhouses, an

18th-century brewery, heritage headquarters and a diamond-shaped skyscraper,

each hotel reveals a different chapter in the city’s story.

The hotels in the collection include a historic brewery, reimagined as a

vibrant modern hotel : Montcalm Brewery. A storied city-slicker, housed in the

former headquarters of the Royal Mail : Montcalm Royal London House. A property

with a bold new perspective at Montcalm East, part of Marriott’s Autograph

Collection. And a duo of mindful hotels which set a slower pace : Inhabit,

Southwick Street and Inhabit, Queen’s Gardens, both part of Design Hotels.

Our flagship hotel is on the brink of a bold new era. Its Grade

II-listed building on the cusp of Park Lane has been sensitively refreshed by

architects Holland Harvey. Interiors are being rejuvenated by Studio Mica and

Studio Est. We have added a new signature restaurant helmed by a world-famous

chef, alongside a dapper lounge and bar. Communal areas, bedrooms and suites

have all been artfully redesigned; our spa and Grand Ballroom will re-emerge as

modern icons.

Conscious, cultured, characterful, and considerate, Montcalm Marble Arch

is a five-star hotel set on a historic crescent that sits proudly at the top of

Park Lane, steps from Hyde Park and the West End, with a toe in Marylebone,

bringing a fresh, holistic hospitality approach to London luxury. The

respectful, sensitive full restoration includes a wellness space,

community-welcoming public spaces and a restaurant helmed by an internationally

acclaimed chef.
