Hyatt Hotels, a luxury hospitality company based in Chicago, has announced the opening of Park Hyatt London River Thames, marking the debut of the Park Hyatt brand in the United Kingdom. In a press statement, Hyatt says that located in an exclusive riverside location in the fast-transforming South West London district of Nine Elms, the property boasts unparalleled views of London’s skyline, combining residential charm with sophistication in complete harmony.

The statement adds that the hotel will offer 203 guestrooms, in a prime location that allows guests to fulfill their diverse desires for culture, exploration and creativity. Just a short walk from Battersea Power Station, recently crowned one of London’s most popular attractions after welcoming 11 million visitors last year,  it sits between more than 200 acres of green space at Battersea Park and a number of cultural draws, including the historic Oval Cricket Ground and the Tate Britain.

The statement adds that the property also benefits from close proximity to some of London’s most iconic landmarks, such as the London Eye, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace.

“Bringing the flagship Park Hyatt hotel to life has been a privilege. This hotel embodies understated luxury, where personalised service and a warm atmosphere create a true sense of home and belonging in London. With its central location and thoughtful design, the hotel positions London in a new light, primed to accommodate discerning travelers looking for elevated experiences,” says Rike Erdbrink, General Manager, Park Hyatt London River Thames.

The statement adds that the interiors of Park Hyatt London River Thames epitomise the hallmarks of the Park Hyatt brand and how it continues to evolve by offering a contemporary interpretation of classic English style; its timeless furniture and bespoke artisanal details echoing elegance and comfort.

It adds that floor-to-ceiling windows ensure every room is filled with natural light, with many rooms offering guests sweeping views of the river Thames, the Houses of Parliament and the City of London.

The statement adds that with its prized central London location and proximity to the United States Embassy, Park Hyatt London River Thames is the ideal location for the finest events. The hotel has 1335 sqm of meeting space, including one of the largest ballrooms to open in central London since 1929, with the ability to host 830 guests, while still remaining versatile enough to be divided into three smaller spaces.

It adds that an additional seven meeting rooms can also be opened to form one larger space and connect to an expansive foyer. The numerous potential set-ups are ideal for curating unique and personalized events, whatever the occasion.
