PB hotel design editorial

Behind a sober Georgian terrace on Great Cumberland Place, where the stucco pilasters and wrought-iron balconies of Marylebone give way to the noise of Marble Arch, sits one of London's few hotels conceived explicitly around Japanese hospitality philosophy. The Prince Akatoki London — akatoki meaning the first light of dawn — was converted from a traditional Marylebone townhouse into a 50-room property whose central ambition is to hold Japanese ma, the art of considered space and pause, within a listed British building. The tension between those two traditions is what makes the interiors worth examining closely. Pale ash joinery runs throughout the guestrooms, low-platform beds with backlit lacquered headboard panels sitting beneath Georgian cornicing that the designers left entirely intact — the leaded bay windows in some rooms making the Japanese minimalism feel less imposed than quietly arrived at. In the bar and restaurant, the register shifts: dark slatted timber ceilings, washi-inspired wall panels printed with botanical line drawings, and terracotta leather tub chairs arranged around small tables give the space the amber warmth of a Kyoto machiya townhouse. The lobby lounge resolves the conversation differently — a wide linear fireplace framed in blackened steel and raw textured plaster, with woven lanterns and bleached branch arrangements suggesting a material vocabulary drawn from both wabi-sabi and the quieter end of contemporary Scandinavian design.

"For our anniversary, my partner and I attended the Tokii Sushi Masterclass on Saturday 5pm. The hotel & restaurant is well located and very beautifully decorated. There were only 4 people (us and another couple) for this masterclass, but up to 6 people can book. It’s very intimate, with spaces on the counter opposite our sushi chef, Toni. He offered us water and complimentary green tea on arrival, before he started the class. Toni was very friendly, funny and incredibly informative. He definitely made the experience as special as it was, and made sure to answer all of our questions about his favourite sushi, how to make certain rolls, and where we could get equipment and ingredients to do it ourselves at home. We were able to make two different types of maki roll, a cucumber maki and California roll, and also a huge hand-roll with salmon belly. We also made both tuna and salmon nigiri. Toni was incredibly helpful in first demonstrating and then offering advice on how to perfect the different types of rolls. It was tricky but he was very complimentary of our skills as first timers! The sushi itself was delicious, as were the condiments (spicy mayo, ponzu sauce, and of course wasabi). Since we made a whole roll of each type each, there was plenty of food. We were stuffed after eating, and were also offered complimentary sparkling sake and miso soup. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend the experience, and can’t thank Toni enough for making it so special and teaching us a new skill."
