A five-star hotel that never opened is sending its bespoke interiors to auction. In November, Pro Auction will sell unused furnishings commissioned for The Other House’s planned Covent Garden Residents’ Club, including pieces for 149 guestrooms and its public spaces. Some items remain in their original packaging, from fluted-oak cabinetry and sculptural lounge chairs to marble dining tables and statement lighting. The three-day sale offers buyers a rare chance to acquire a coordinated hotel collection before it ever welcomed guests. Pro Auction will sell bespoke contents commissioned for The Other House’s Wellington Block scheme, a planned five-star Residents’ Club that never opened to the public.

London, United Kingdom, 31st Oct 2026 – Pro Auction will auction the unused furnishings and decorative contents commissioned for The Other House’s planned Covent Garden Residents’ Club. The property, at 25–31 Wellington Street, was in the final stages of completion and scheduled to open in July 2026 as the flagship sister property to The Other House South Kensington. It did not open to the public.

The sale follows Aendre Group’s acquisition of The Other House group and the incoming owners’ decision to pursue a different design vision. Contents from 149 guestrooms and the property’s public spaces will be offered for sale. Some lots remain in their original factory crating, transit wraps and protective covers.

The collection was curated by The Other House’s in-house interior design department, TOHID, in collaboration with Bergman Design House, led by Marie Soliman and Albin Berglund. Items include bespoke upholstered and fluted timber headboards, curved two-seater sofas, fluted club chairs, fluted-oak storage cabinets and hallway consoles with brass inlays and soft-close hardware.

Public-area lots include sculptural lounge chairs and bespoke bistro and large-format dining tables with polished marble, terrazzo or dark-stained timber surfaces on cast-brass and cast-iron bases. The collection also includes restaurant furnishings, sculptures, fine art, decorative objects and architectural lighting. The hotel specification includes Crib 5 fire-rated items and BREEAM Excellent environmental compliance.

The sale offers hotel operators, developers, interior designers, restaurateurs, build-to-rent operators and private buyers the opportunity to acquire coordinated furnishings. The Other House South Kensington opened in 2022 as a Residents’ Club for members and overnight guests. Aendre Group, founded by Eric Jafari and Chris Strong, acquired The Other House group in July 2026.

Simon Rose of Pro Auction said: “Usually, an auction of this scale follows the conclusion of an established operational lifecycle. To step into an iconic Covent Garden island site that was on the threshold of its July 2026 debut and find thousands of pieces from Europe’s top-tier luxury manufacturers—spanning both private guestrooms and magnificent public lounges—that have never been used, never been scratched, and remain in immaculate condition is unheard of. It is an extraordinary opportunity for developers, operators, and design professionals alike.”

The auction will be held as a live and online webcast, with global bidding through major auction platforms. Viewing and digital walkthroughs will be available by appointment.
