The 1,096 guestrooms and suites will be designed with a contemporary and bold aesthetic that reflect the various London boroughs.
The venue’s four restaurants and bars will be relaunched with new drinking and dining concepts, including an all day British brasserie that celebrates London’s street food scene.
The refurbishment will also see the opening of a 200 sq m fitness studio.
Extensive renovations are being made to the hotel’s 35 event spaces and meeting rooms, including two dedicated rooms and three ballrooms, which total more than 4,600 sq m in size, from the 1,062 sq m Richmond Suite to the Kensington Suite, with its open private foyer and space for up to 1,350 guests.
The new, elevated aesthetic will take guests on an immersive experience through the capital. The architecture, design, restaurants and bars showcase purposeful acknowledgements to East, Central and West London’s heritage as the hotel tells the story of this ancient city with nods to iconic areas including Borough Market, Covent Garden and towns on the Thames.
The refurbishment is due to be completed by summer 2021.
