I met chef and restaurateur Nobu Matsuhisa for the first time in 2013, just after his first Nobu Hotel opened in Las Vegas. He was talking about building many more with his business partner Robert De Niro, so I asked him why he wanted to get into the hotel business anyway. He replied in his usual jovial manner: To house my restaurants. Over the seven years since, he has opened 13 hotels, most recently in London and Warsaw, with six more due this year.
