The M by Montcalm hotel is set to launch in east London’s emerging technology district in an 18-storey building inspired by the work of ‘Op-Art’ artist Bridget Riley.

Built by SPG Contracts under a full design and build contract with the help of external consultants 5plus Architects, Curtins Engineering and KUT M&E consultants – the 296-key hotel features an unusual horizontal transom (a transverse horizontal structural beam or bar) that preserves the building’s original architectural concept and vision. The hotel is expected to open in Q2 2015

Within the hotel, there will be a three-treatment room M Spa with a Versace-tiled swimming pool, relaxation lounge, steamroom, sauna and whirlpool, as well as a gym. The spa will soft-launch in April, a spokesperson told Spa Opportunities. Bedroom amenities will be supplied by Elemis and Hermès.

There will also be two restaurants, one on the ground floor, the other on the 17th floor of the property. M by Montcalm will also offer an exclusive facility on the 16th floor to hold meetings. Event space at the hotel can accommodate 200 people.
