Shiva Hotels has announced it will open its Luxury Covent Garden Hotel, Middle Eight, on the 28 October.

The hotel aims to offer an “elegant, relaxing and exceptional setting”, that is targeted towards guests who want to “live the city rather than just stay in it”.

Every room also features Nespresso coffee machines, minibars stocked with complimentary drinks, 42” flatscreen TVs, soundbars with Chromecast and high-speed wifi.

The 12 suites also include combinations of signature indoor gardens complete with living walls of ferns and moss, trees and water features as well as outside dining areas.

The hotel also offers an all day Italian inspired dining menu at its contemporary bar and restaurant – Sycamore Vino Cucin.

In addition, guests can also dine at The Balcony, situated on the Mezzanine floor, overlooking Sycamore which serves a “globally inspired menu”.

The property will also feature a bar and a venue that will regularly host comedians, musicians and singers on its central stage, along with a small screening room that will show video art and performances.

Middle Eight is also a Preferred Hotels and Resorts’ partner and will be showcased within the brand’s luxury L.V.X. Collection.
