Concierge Club at Guest Hotels aims to become one of London's foremost contemporary arts club, blending cutting-edge creativity with generous hotel hospitality and challenging the status quo of traditional concierge services.
Guests will enjoy the very best of emerging talent from London's creative arts scene within the hotels where they are staying.
Each of the five Guest Hotels will feature a weekly arts programme and some of the capital's brightest emerging talent has already been signed-up to perform.
Electro pop duo Heartbreak has signed for a season at The Jones and Youtube sensation Shlomo, acknowledged as one of the world's best beatboxers is also confirmed to appear.
Independent record label Lex Records will also regularly use the hotels to showcase their latest up and coming artists.
In a nod to a decadent era, writers Damian Barr and Chris Green have also been commissioned to devise and produce an original theatre piece about Lillie Langtry, the Edwardian society beauty and actress.
Esteemed artist, designer and engineer Moritz Waldemeyer will ensure The Jones is lit to perfection by creating a permanent awe inspiring central light fitting to grace the atmospheric Theatre.
The Concierge Club will also offer unique access to the very best of the capital's creative events, from exclusive parties to back-stage passes to some of London's hottest celebrity events such as London Fashion Week.
Annual membership will be open to both guests and non-residents for £240. However, the first 1000 members will be considered as founders, paying £180 and will also be given a free night in any one of the hotels within Guest Hotels' collection.
Iram Quraishi, Guest Hotels Curator and previously of the ICA said:
"We are proud to be introducing a new collection of London art spaces, scattered from Hyde Park to Clerkenwell. From louche Victorian splendour, to gorgeous Georgian paneling, The Concierge Club at Guest Hotels will invite maverick cultural experiences from music and theatre, to books and photography. We will bring the very best of London's arts scene to our guests and members in canape portions and sumptuous surrounds."
