About Maslow's
At Maslow's our mission is to create a collection of workspaces, members' houses, restaurants & bars that are developed and operated within unique spaces in vibrant neighbourhoods and beautiful settings, always with an emphasis on locality, serving the needs of visitors and locals alike.
We opened the doors of our first site, Mortimer House in London's Fitzrovia, in late 2017. Our second London House - 1 Warwick, opened in Soho, March 2023.
Our ethos is inspired by Maslow's hierarchy of needs. We use a holistic approach to hospitality to create carefully considered spaces — be it physical, digital, intellectual or emotional — that are exquisite yet unpretentious, centred on helping people connect to what matters to them.
