When meeting with Chelia Gibbs, one of London’s leading hospitality consultants, I was not so interested to follow the gender narrative. Instead, I wanted to know more about how Gibbs, despite set-backs, set new standards in hospitality and business when creating her brand.
Gibbs’ concept was built while she was working for the best hotel and restaurants in London. She identified a gap in the market for good operators in London and worldwide. Building an impressive roster, Gibbs’ first A to Z project was Terry Venables’ La Escondida Hotel in Spain, resulting in the nomination of one of the 15 best new hotels in the world within its first year of trading.
Since then, the brand has successfully opened, managed and transformed some of the most talked-about restaurants, hotels and members clubs, including Bistro du Vin, Soho House’s Dean Street Townhouse, The Laslett in Notting Hill and Daios Cove in Crete (among others).
