Where we're looking

Five cities

We're looking for buildings in five cities, each one chosen for its walks as much as its restaurants. Tell us which you'd visit first and you'll help us decide where to open.

Visualisation: a converted warehouse on a cobbled street at dusk

Manchester

We're looking for an old warehouse in the Northern Quarter or Ancoats, with space behind it for a garden. The canal towpaths start at the door and Piccadilly is a short walk away.

For walks: Canal towpaths, the Irwell
The kind of building: Victorian warehouse

Visualisation: a Georgian townhouse on a curved crescent at dusk

Edinburgh

Somewhere in the New Town, ideally a set of Georgian townhouses with a garden nearby. The Water of Leith is at the bottom of the hill, and Arthur's Seat is a morning's walk.

For walks: Water of Leith, Holyrood Park
The kind of building: Georgian townhouses

Bath

A smaller hotel in a Bath stone townhouse in the upper town, perhaps with an old coach house at the back for the Parlour. Royal Victoria Park and the canal are both close by.

For walks: Royal Victoria Park, the canal
The kind of building: Georgian townhouse

Visualisation: a red-brick Victorian building beside the city walls

York

Close to the station and the city walls, with enough lawn for a big Day Club. Dogs are allowed on most of the walls, and the river path runs out of the city into open country.

For walks: The city walls, the Ouse
The kind of building: Victorian, with grounds

Visualisation: an Edwardian mansion building under restoration

London

A building within walking distance of one of the royal parks, with a roof we can turn into a garden. Marylebone, Kensington and Primrose Hill are all on the list.

For walks: Regent's Park, Hyde Park
The kind of building: Edwardian, with a roof garden

The founding list

Be first through the door

Founding members will get first choice of dates when the first hotel opens, a founding rate on their first stay, and their dog's profile on file before they arrive. Tell us which city you'd visit first and it helps us decide where to open.
