In September 2018, Michelin-starred Chef Tom Kerridge, launched Kerridge’s Bar & Grill at the famous Corinthia Hotel, London, one of the capital’s true grand hotels, blending grandeur and heritage, with contemporary design – and Crest Leather plays a small part in this long and distinguished story.
Originally the Hotel Metropole, The Corinthia Hotel was the largest hotel in Europe when it first opened in 1885. During World Wars I and II, the building was requisitioned by the War Office, and was host to Winston Churchill, who served as Minister for Munitions here from 1917 to 1919. After lying vacant for many years, the legendary building was restored to its former glory and reopened by Corinthia Hotels in 2011.
