It’s a big deal opening a hotel this size right in the middle of town. So much to get wrong. But by throwing money and great designers at it, leaving what needs to be left (the dilapidated brick wall as you go down to the enormous downstairs party space, QT) and not being afraid to be bang up to date, Middle Eight has emerged from its previous incarnation as a whatever mid-town hotel into a smash hit."

"Over and above the food and drink, Sycamore will be an urban local hang-out with the sharing nature of the dishes creating an atmosphere that is sociable, cool, and informal: bustling during the day and buzzing by night with live DJs."
