Park Hyatt London River Thames to open in 2022

Hyatt Hotels Corporation and R&F UK have announced plans to open Park Hyatt London River Thames, the first Park Hyatt hotel in the UK.

Set to open in 2022, the 203-key property will be located within R&F UK’s Nine Elms development on the south bank of the River Thames. The addition of the hotel to the UK market signifies Hyatt’s continued brand growth into Europe’s leading cities.

The new hotel will include a secure executive wing and event spaces offering a carefully curated and personalised experience for business and government travellers. The signature Park Hyatt Living Room will feature understated luxury touches and world-renowned artwork and design, while a large ballroom will also be a rare feature for London.

The property’s nearby attractions – from Tate Britain to the 200-acre Battersea Park and the Kia Oval cricket ground – will establish the hotel as the ideal launchpad to discover everything the locale has to offer.

The hotel opening will also coincide with the launch of the Northern Line London Underground extension connecting Nine Elms to the West End, the entrance of which will be a few minutes’ walk away.

We are excited to continue and expand on Hyatt’s relationship with R&F by bringing this new exciting hotel to London.”
