Velvet and gold are coming to the district of glass towers. House of Gods, the Scottish brand for which “beige is a blasphemy”, is opening its first London hotel in Canary Wharf in late September 2026, featuring 79 rooms and a 300-cover rooftop, and at the same time entrusting its general management to Justine Conway, promoted to CEO three years after joining.
Justine Conway, three years to reach the top
The promotion was announced the very week of the opening. Justine Conway joined House of Gods three years ago after ten years at Scotsman Hospitality, as Chief Operations Officer. There, she oversaw the group’s daily operations and the launch of the Glasgow hotel in the summer of 2025, before being appointed Deputy Managing Director last year to take charge of development and strategy. She now becomes CEO.
“I am thrilled to share my new role as Managing Director of House of Gods Hotel,” she wrote on LinkedIn. “An incredible brand, with an exciting growth plan starting next week with the opening of our first hotel in London.”
79 rooms where beige is a blasphemy
The house sums up its style as a deliberate clash of styles, broken rules and a balance of opposites, where more is always better. In Canary Wharf, 79 rooms and suites translate the vocabulary of the Scottish addresses·heavy velvet, mirrors, gilding and animal prints·across three categories: Cabin, the most compact; Classic; and Suite, featuring a four-poster bed and lounge. At the windows, the towers of the business district provide the intended contrast.
Sacred Garden, a 300-cover rooftop
At the top, Sacred Garden, a 300-cover restaurant and bar, looks out over Eden Dock and the district’s skyline. The hotel is just part of a 6,000 m² leisure complex spearheaded by investor Imbiba, which has supported the brand since its inception: it also includes Amazing Grace, a concert venue, and an event space operated by Broadwick Live.
From Edinburgh to London, bypassing Manchester
House of Gods was born in Edinburgh in 2019 with a simple promise: to treat every guest like a star. A second hotel opened in Glasgow in the summer of 2025, and a project in Manchester was dropped to concentrate efforts on London, which the group views as its international business card.

Our perspective
Canary Wharf has been searching for life after 7 p.m. for years. A theatrical hotel with a rooftop and concert venue is a more credible answer than yet another business hotel, and the brand arrives with an audience already established in Scotland. The gamble is to turn bankers into night owls, and Londoners into guests in a neighbourhood they usually rush through without stopping.
The promotion of Justine Conway, announced on opening day, says the rest: House of Gods is transitioning from a founder’s venture into a company with executive management, an investor and a growth plan. As for the maximalism, it’s not going anywhere.
