London’s ever-evolving culinary landscape has recently welcomed a significant new chapter, thanks to the vision of Antonio Gonzalez, Chairman and Group CEO of Sunset Hospitality Group. In a move that blends heritage with international sophistication, SHG has brought its world-renowned brands to the iconic Pantechnicon building in Belgravia, a striking gesture of intent and confidence in London’s global influence. With the introduction of Amélie and Luum, alongside the relaunch of Sachi and Café Kitsuné, this elegant restoration of the landmark building signals more than just new openings, it marks the arrival of a curated culinary lifestyle destination in the heart of the capital.
Over the past two years, SHG has been quietly shaping this concept, thoughtfully reimagining the space while respecting the grandeur and character of the original architecture. The result is a beautifully orchestrated fusion of vibrant hospitality, refined design, and immersive experiences, setting a new benchmark for dining in central London.
Five months post-opening, early signs of success are evident, not only through strong footfall and positive reviews but, more meaningfully, in how seamlessly these brands are resonating with the local community. It is a testament to SHG’s deep understanding of how to adapt international concepts for a London audience without losing authenticity or flair.
The Pantechnicon’s reinvention is more than a restoration, it’s a revival of spirit. A place where global elegance meets local soul, and where each venue offers its own narrative, aesthetic, and rhythm. From the modern Mediterranean charm of Amélie to the elevated energy of Luum, and the serene relaunch of Sachi and Café Kitsuné, this new era for the building is both exciting and exquisitely curated.
