This gorgeous art deco office building in the City of London is being converted into a hotel

"If you're an art deco architecture geek, you'll no doubt know all about Ibex House. The shimmering pale office building, which you'll find on the east side of the Minories in the City, is renowned for its long streamline moderne curves and mesmerising black-framed windows. The vast H-shaped structure is Grade II-listed and one of London's most remarkable surviving art deco buildings."

"Ibex House was acquired by hotel developer and operator Dominus (as well as investment firm Cheyne Capital JV) in December 2025. They'll enlist designers Studio Moren to turn the office building into a 382-room hotel - and much of the original structure will remain the same. All of the building's substructure and 90 percent of its superstructure won't be touched by the plans."

Ibex House is an H-shaped Grade II-listed Art Deco office on the east side of the Minories in the City, noted for streamline moderne curves and black-framed windows. Designed by Fuller, Hall and Foulsham and completed in 1937, the 250,000 sq ft building will be converted into a hotel after nearly 90 years. Dominus and Cheyne Capital JV acquired the property in December 2025 and will engage Studio Moren to create a 382-room hotel while retaining much of the original structure. The redevelopment will add a conference centre with a ballroom, café, hospitality training academy, and an expanded Peacock pub with a speakeasy bar. Dominus will operate the hotel.
