Dalata Hotel Group expands following £91m investment with new London hotel opening

Clayton Hotel City of London is to open its doors for the first time on Thursday January 24 at 12pm.

The four-star hotel, which is owned and operated by Dalata Hotel Group, is the eighth Clayton to open in the UK and the third London hotel in the group, joining Clayton hotels in Chiswick and Cricklewood, following a £91m investment.

The new hotel has also created more than 60 new jobs.

Located in Aldgate East, in the city’s Financial District, the hotel is near many of London’s iconic landmarks, including the Tower of London, Brick Lane and The Gherkin.

The hotel’s design has been inspired by Victorian textile warehouses, and holds 212 bedrooms, including deluxe and executive rooms as well as luxurious suites.

James Feeney, general manager at Clayton Hotel City of London, said: “We’re delighted to be opening a new hotel in Aldgate East to build on the already successful network of Clayton hotels in London at Chiswick and Cricklewood.

“This new hotel gives us a presence in a key central location within the city and is ideally located for corporate guests who want to be close to the City of London, and leisure guests visiting the many attractions that the city has to offer.

“The Clayton brand offers high quality affordable luxury from a professional, friendly, knowledgeable team and we look forward to welcoming guests and locals to enjoy many memorable moments in the making.”

This is the first of several Clayton hotel openings planned for the UK as part of a multi-million-pound investment throughout the Clayton Hotel network.

The Dalata Hotel Group has knowledge in hospitality, and already operates seven Clayton hotels in the UK, two in London, Cardiff, Leeds, Birmingham, Belfast and Manchester Airport.
