House of Gods Hotel To Open In Canary Wharf
A theatrically glamorous boutique hotel arrives in London’s financial district, bringing velvet-drenched interiors AND A STUNNING skyline view
London’s hotel scene is about to gain a bold new personality. Opening later this year in Canary Wharf, House of Gods London introduces the Scottish-born brand’s signature blend of maximalist design, intimate luxury and playful hedonism to the capital, marking its third outpost following cult-status openings in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Set within one of London’s fastest-evolving neighbourhoods, the property places guests moments from the Museum of London Docklands, the historic maritime landscape of Greenwich and the architectural icons of Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. Yet this is less about sightseeing convenience and more about creating a destination stay, one that leans unapologetically into escapism.
A Boutique Hotel with Theatrical Flair
House of Gods London will feature 79 rooms and suites, each conceived to deliver an immersive, design-led experience. Expect rich materials, dramatic lighting and a layered palette that nods to old-world opulence while embracing a contemporary maximalist sensibility. The aesthetic follows the brand’s established ethos: intimate, indulgent and deliberately transportive, designed to feel worlds away from the neutrality of traditional business hotels.
This is a hotel that favours atmosphere over minimalism, encouraging guests to lean into the fantasy of travel rather than simply passing through.

Sacred Garden: Canary Wharf’s First Rooftop Destination
One of the most anticipated elements is Sacred Garden, a 300-capacity rooftop bar and restaurant set to become the first of its kind in Canary Wharf. Overlooking Eden Dock, the space promises panoramic skyline views paired with cocktails, dining and a distinctly after-hours energy, transforming the district’s vertical architecture into a new social stage.
By day, it offers a relaxed vantage point above the city’s waterside landscape. By evening, it is expected to shift into a theatrical backdrop for sunset drinks and late-night gatherings, positioning the hotel as much a lifestyle venue as a place to stay.
Hospitality with a Sense of Drama
House of Gods has built its reputation on a simple but effective premise: treat every guest like they are famous. That philosophy continues in London, where experiential touches are designed to elevate the stay beyond the expected.
An opening offer encapsulates the brand’s playful spirit, with VIP-style check-in, rooftop cocktails, celebratory in-room details and a leisurely late checkout, a narrative-driven approach to hospitality that prioritises mood and memory over formality.

A Strategic London Debut
Backed by Imbiba, the leisure and hospitality investor, the London opening signals a confident expansion for the group into one of the world’s most competitive hotel markets. Rather than replicate the polished understatement typical of the capital’s luxury stays, House of Gods positions itself as something altogether more expressive: boutique in scale, cinematic in attitude and intentionally maximalist.
Founder Mike Baxter describes the move as the brand’s “boldest” to date, with every element crafted to make guests feel celebrated rather than accommodated.
A New Energy for Canary Wharf
As Canary Wharf continues its evolution from financial hub to mixed cultural district, the arrival of a design-forward, experience-led hotel reflects the area’s shifting identity. House of Gods London brings with it not just rooms, but a sense of occasion, an invitation to see this corner of the city through a more indulgent lens.
For travellers seeking a London stay that is immersive, playful and visually striking, these latest opening promises to deliver a dose of glamour with a knowing wink.
