Launching in Stratford in November 2021, The Gantry will bring together under one roof design hotel, artisan food market, restaurants, bars, and events, in what is London’s fastest developing creative and cultural community.
Born out of the desire to create a sustainable business that enriches the local community whilst delivering an exceptional experience for its guests, The Gantry is setting a new template for the hospitality industry. With a silhouette inspired by New York’s famous Flat Iron building, The Gantry’s design is influenced by industrial Victorian East London and Stratford’s historical role in the city’s train building industry. With a prime position directly in front of Stratford International station, 6 minutes from Kings Cross, The Gantry will feature a bustling ground floor artisan food market, a restaurant, and cocktail bars with dedicated open-air terraces and a flexible events space.
Collaboration with local producers, artists, and brands is at the heart of The Gantry, a single urban resort offering a fully integrated eating, drinking, travel and social destination for East Londoners and international visitors alike.
Taking over the hotel’s 1st Floor, Union Social is an urban space featuring contemporary London cuisine. Flanked on one side with a cocktail bar and open kitchen and on the other with floor to ceiling windows and a huge wraparound terrace, the venue combines the ever-changing landscape of Stratford with an industrial-influenced interior. The hotel’s vibrant heart, Union Social will be both a meeting point and an escape; a welcoming space that offers sustenance and style throughout the day. Split into an all-day cocktail bar, lounge and terrace, the design of the venue reflects the unique contrasts of East London.
The Gantry Hotel is an independent design hotel that will be the fourth property within the Curio Collection in London, marking an exciting new direction for the group. Offering 291 rooms over 17 floors, The Gantry Hotel will be managed by Saurabh Kukreja, a seasoned hotelier with experience in managing luxury and lifestyle hotels in UK, Thailand, and the Philippines.
