Tom Sellers to open hotel restaurant Dovetale in May 2023

Tom Sellers’ upcoming restaurant at the 1 Hotel Mayfair is to be called Dovetale and will open in May 2023, it has been confirmed.

The restaurant will offer an à la carte menu with dishes cooked over a grill, alongside a raw bar, and an “expansive” wine programme.

A knickerbocker glory trolley will see the classic dessert made tableside for guests and an adjacent cocktail bar will open alongside Dovetale next year.

Sellers also runs the two-Michelin-starred Restaurant Story in London, which serves a £224, 10-course tasting menu.

The nine-storey 1 Hotel Mayfair will overlook London’s Green Park and feature 181 rooms, a bar, in-house café and fitness and wellness centre.

It will launch next spring as the first European property for luxury lifestyle brand 1 Hotels, which has sites in the United States, Canada, and China.

The 1 Hotel brand is operated by SH Hotels and Resorts, a subsidiary of Starwood Capital Group. Its London site is being developed with Crosstree Real Estate, an investor which also backed hotel projects such as the Standard, London in King's Cross and Mama Shelter in Shoreditch.
