Hyatt announces riverside London hotel opening amid “ambitious” brand growth

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the opening of Hyatt Regency London Albert Embankment.

The 142-room hotel marks the eighth Hyatt-branded property in London, confirming Hyatt’s “ambitious and strategic” brand growth plans for 2023 and beyond in the United Kingdom.

The hotel is conveniently located; it is a five minute walk to the capital’s political epicentre, Westminster, home to landmarks including the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square and Big Ben.

A short stroll along the River Thames from the hotel leads to the South Bank, an area celebrated for its “world-class” arts and cultural venues, whilst nearby, Vauxhall Station provides direct access to many of the city’s major travel hubs.

A total of 142 contemporary guest rooms make the most of the enviable riverside spot, with many featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that provide “immersive views of the city’s iconic skyline”. On the 14th floor, a range of executive suites offer king-size bedrooms, spacious, modern bathrooms, and relaxing lounge areas, accompanied by a private balcony.

For those looking for a multifunctional setting to share, socialise and collaborate, POTUS bar and restaurant delivers a “diverse and distinctive” menu of North American classics alongside traditional British favourites.

Meanwhile the rooftop restaurant, cocktail bar, and shisha terrace Mezemiso serves “authentic” Lebanese and Japanese cuisine to create an “incomparable” dining experience overlooking views of the city.

Felicity Black-Roberts, vice president development of Hyatt Europe, commented: “London remains a priority market for our planned brand growth in the U.K., and we are delighted to add Hyatt Regency London Albert Embankment to our expanding list of properties in the capital.

“This is the third Hyatt Regency branded hotel in the city, further demonstrating how Hyatt is intentionally growing our brand portfolio in the U.K., bringing our most renowned brands to the in-demand markets where our guests and World of Hyatt members want to be.”

Ivan Drinkwater, Cannon Corporate spokesperson, added: “We are pleased about the collaboration with Hyatt to open Hyatt Regency London Albert Embankment.

“The hotel is set to be the destination of choice for the millions of business and leisure travellers who visit this corner of London each year. Our team is ready to provide them with intuitive service and elevated experiences amongst the bustle of one of the city’s most popular areas.”
