Ibex House in the City of London is being converted into a 382-room hotel after developer Dominus and investment manager Cheyne Capital were granted planning permission. Built between 1935 and 1937, Ibex House, 42-47 The Minories, is a Grade II-listed Art Deco building. Preet Ahluwalia, chief executive at Dominus, said: “Drawing on our development and operational expertise, we will transform this vacant office building into a landmark hotel that will celebrate its Art Deco design. Farran Keenan, senior architect at Studio Moren, said: “This iconic Art Deco building set a benchmark for office design when it was built nearly 80 years ago. “Our vision for architecture and interior design places the preservation and celebration of its Art Deco heritage at the heart of its transformation into a contemporary landmark hotel.”
