Why did Nobu hotel London close?

Our research contains no source that records a closure of Nobu Hotel London Portman Square. The most recent dated accounts suggest the hotel was operating at those points: a Time Out review from June 2024 and two 2025 accounts, one of them a stay report, which indicate operation then rather than today.

The Times reports that the Shoreditch hotel opened in 2017, closed, and reopened in 2022. The same publication reportedly also says it closed in 2025, and no other source in our research confirms that.

Nobu hotel london history

1. Before opening: The Portman Square building was previously a Radisson property, per Condé Nast Traveller Middle East.
2. 2017: The Shoreditch hotel opens, per The Times.
3. 2022: The Shoreditch hotel reopens, per The Times.
4. About 2023: Portman Square opens, and the Berkeley Street Nobu restaurant moves to Marylebone (approximate date, per Pursuitist).
5. June 2024: Time Out reviews Portman Square.
6. January 2025 stay: ON IN LONDON publishes a stay report.
7. 2025: The Times reportedly states the Shoreditch hotel closed; no independent confirmation is in our research.

A current-status answer needs a check this research could not make, and the verified closure dates in our sources belong to the Shoreditch property.

Is there a minimum spend at Nobu London?

Our research contains no minimum spend figure for either London property, so no minimum can be stated.

Pricing band

Pricing is described qualitatively only. The five-star classification in the listing and a reviewer’s note that the rooms are small for the price point to a premium rate band. That is an inference, not a sourced range.

ON IN LONDON reportedly lists rooms from GBP 399.00 per night and an omakase experience at GBP 125 to GBP 150 per person, drawn from a single stay report. Treat both figures as unverified.

The breakfast fee is reportedly GBP 25 per person, served 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM, per the Expedia listing.

What’s the most expensive thing at Nobu?

Our sources do not name the most expensive item. The priced items in our research are the room rate, the omakase range and the breakfast fee, and none is confirmed by an official source.

Getting a precise spend figure requires a live menu and rate check, which this research did not include.
