Clare Smyth — the first British woman to hold three Michelin stars, at Core in Notting Hill — opens Coreus by Smyth at the Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch in 2026. It is her most significant London project since Core, built on the same produce-driven British cooking that made her name.

Sharing the restored Admiralty Arch with Daniel Boulud's Café Boulud, Coreus is among the highest-pedigree openings anywhere in 2026. Expect the precision and ingredient focus of Core translated to a grand hotel setting.
