Hilton Expands London Portfolio with Wembley Hotel

Hilton is expanding its portfolio of hotels in London with the opening of the Hilton London Wembley.

Located directly opposite Wembley Stadium - the second biggest sporting venue outside of the Olympic Park - and next to Wembley Arena, the hotel opening marks a major milestone in the transformation of Wembley City, which aims to turn the area into one of the most thriving parts of the capital and a beacon of sporting, entertainment and architectural excellence.

The new 281,650 sq ft, 361-room Hilton London Wembley features 18 suites, a 660-capacity ballroom, 10 meeting rooms with a Business Centre and boardroom, an Executive Lounge, 200 parking spaces and a LivingWell Health Club with a 12-metre pool, sauna, steam room, whirlpool and 24-hour gym for residents.

The hotel will also offer a roof bar Sky Bar 9 with space for 150 people through private functions. It is situated on the ninth floor of the hotel with an outdoor roof terrace and views over Wembley Arena and Wembley Way. The hotel will also have a restaurant, aptly named The Association, which can seat up to 280 guests which will feature a modern-British menu.

Adjacent to the Stadium, a new 280,000 sq ft retail destination - The London Designer Outlet - is under development and will add a fresh dimension to the area, bringing high street, designer brands and dynamic restaurant and leisure operators to the heart of the regeneration scheme.

John Rogers, vice president operation UK, Hilton Worldwide, said, "Hilton London Wembley is a landmark hotel at the heart of the revitalisation of Wembley which will play a pivotal role in turning the area into a leisure destination of choice. This latest London opening for Hilton Worldwide will increase our presence to more than 30 hotels across the capital and provide a unique and high quality Hilton experience, setting the tone for the future of Wembley."

The hotel's General Manager is Mr. Jack Nicholas.
