Hyatt announced the opening of Park Hyatt London River Thames, marking the debut of the Park Hyatt brand in the United Kingdom.
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.
Park Hyatt London River Thames 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 Kia Oval Cricket Ground and the Tate Britain.
The property also benefits from close proximity to some of London’s most iconic landmarks, such as the lastminute.com London Eye, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace.
“Bringing the flagship Park Hyatt hotel to life has been a privilege,” said Rike Erdbrink, general manager, Park Hyatt London River Thames. “This hotel embodies understated luxury, where personalized 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.”
Thoughtful English design with a contemporary twist
The interiors of Park Hyatt London River Thames epitomize 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.
The neutral and muted design is complemented with color accents and powerful artwork including an immersive “park by water” experience. The hotel’s entrance also features a breathtaking Charlie Whinney installation, ‘Ebb and Flow’, inspired by the river Thames. Elsewhere throughout the property, guests can enjoy art from several well-known artists, including Ian Rayer-Smith, Jo Taylor, Françoise Delaire, Gabriel Leung, George Blacklock, and Ewan David.
The hotel’s guestrooms offer a seamless continuation of this journey, with wallpapered walls featuring designs by the iconic English textile designer William Morris, complemented by a scheme of white and ebony, with accents of leather and brass throughout.
These elements result in a combination of comfort and indulgence for guests. 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.
