disappearing into a fog of 'meh' shortly after opening. Fortunately for The Newman - the latest boutique property to opened here, on Newman Street, just weeks ago - its USP is a good one: celebrating the particular character and vibrancy of Fitzrovia, the central London district that was once the hub of the city's Bohemian arts and literary scene during the early decades of the 20th century.
Where to stay: Belgravia's The Emory, London's first all-suite hotel and part of the Maybourne Group (behind Claridge's and The Connaught), is one of the glitziest new addresses in town. It's joined by The Chancery Rosewood, Mayfair's latest opening, which houses a rooftop bar flanked by a magnificent eagle.
