Behind the scenes with one of the masterminds behind the world?s most exclusive members? club
By Darius Sanai, Editor-in-Chief
Your Rolls-Royce breezes past the Tower of London, in the shadow of the Shard, the Cheesegrater and the Walkie-Talkie, London?s newest icon buildings, and drops you at a set of stone steps leading to a grand Edwardian entranceway, past four 10 metre tall Greek-style columns. Up a couple of floors, past a restaurant run by three-Michelin-star chef Anne-Sophie Pic and the reception area of the Four Seasons Hotel in the building, you are ushered through another set of thick wooden doors. Then, down a grand corridor with exquisite marquetry, and, voila, you have arrived in the Chateau Latour Room (the world?s only such space), just in time for a contemplative glass with two of the most powerful people in finance and the arts. That is the vision of Songhua Ni, President of Reignwood Investments UK, and his boss Chanchai Ruayrungruan, chairman of parent company Reignwood Group, one of China?s leading international investment groups. Reignwood is the owner of 10 Trinity Square, the landmark, former HQ of the Port of London Authority, in the City of London. In stages this year, after more than five years of planning and rebuilding, Reignwood will open the Four Seasons Hotel, the Anne-Sophie Pic restaurant, La Dame de Pic , 41 private residences, and The Club, the ultra-exclusive heart of it all, which has been developed by Reignwood and Francois Pinault, the French luxury goods titan who also owns Chateau Latour.
As if opening the first luxury hotel...
