Inside Louis Vuitton’s Luxurious Hotel Pop-Up in London

In honour of their 130-year anniversary, Louis Vuitton has officially opened their hotel pop-up as of today. Following on from their permanent Parisian hotel that is expected to open in 2026, Louis Vuitton tests international waters in a luxurious U.K. experience that will only last two months. Located in the heart of Mayfair, London, the townhouse is a true symbol of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. Immersive rooms dedicated to the house’s signature bags Speedy, Keepall, Noé, Alma, and the Neverfull are designed to bring LV’s monogram to life.

Encapsulating the very art of travel, guests enter the hotel through the Keepall Lobby, named after the carry-all model. Archival imagery is framed on the walls with a worn-out staircase flooring that gives off a vintage feel. Mannequins decked out in current Louis Vuitton pieces display the brand’s modernity while still paying respect to the past heritage.

Two rooms allocated on the second floor are dedicated to the Speedy: the Speedy Room and the Speedy P9 Safe Room. The Speedy Room is cosy and light, whereas the Safe Room is covered in metallic gold. Physical carryalls reworked from the original 1930s models alongside Pharrell Williams’ Speedy 9 creation adorn the spaces.

Paying attention to the wellness culture of today, a gym exclusively for guests encompasses the top floor, which is titled after the Neverfull tote. This tote is now reimagined for use under a sports lens and is displayed to be used to carry some gym essentials, including weights. A striped wall and flooring make up the gym’s interior.

Named after the Place de l’Alma in Paris, the Alma bag features distinct Art Deco lines alongside its elegant silhouette – becoming a symbol of Parisian modernity. Café Alma offers two culinary experiences: Signature Luncheon or afternoon tea for two. The Signature Luncheon is a two-course seasonal déjeuner available from 11am to 3pm. Meanwhile, British patisseries, coffees, and teas with monogram detailing are offered between 3pm until 7pm on Mondays to Saturdays and all day on Sunday.

Unearthed on the lower ground floor, Bar Noé is an intimate bar that invites guests to sip on a crisp flute of champagne or fruity cocktails. As evening falls, curated DJs liven up the atmosphere every Thursday to Saturday night. Noé takes its name from the bag that was specifically created at the request of a champagne producer in 1932. Impressively engineered to hold five bottles of champagne, everyday needs are transformed into timeless elegance in this bar.

The hotel is located at 28 Berkeley Square, London, W1J 6EN. It is open Mondays to Saturdays from 11am until 7pm and 12pm until 6pm on Sundays. Bookings for the Louis Vuitton Hotel, Café Alma and Bar Noé can be made here. Will you be visiting?
