Victory House in London’s Leicester Square has been transformed into a MGallery By Sofitel hotel and is due to open with a soft launch in August 2017.  The full opening will be in September 2017.  Victory House has 86 contemporary bedrooms which are sound-proofed for a cosy, boutique hotel experience. 

The hotel is within walking distance of Soho, Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus and St. James, as well as London’s key historic landmarks such as the National Gallery and Somerset House.  The building’s 19th century terracotta façade was designed and built in the early French Renaissance style in 1898 and the property was previously known as Hôtel de l’Europe.  Each room features 1950s film icons with black and white art deco interiors and soft teal, grey and beige furnishings, to create a quiet haven in the buzz of London’s cinema district. Black and white 1950s movie stars feature in the hotel’s corridors, as well as silent 1950s movies that are projected in the lift and lobby.   Located on the ground floor, the hotel’s restaurant, Petit Bistro, will serve French-inspired cuisine using local produce and cocktails, with alfresco dining in the summer months.
