Splendid Hospitality Group's Synergy Hotels today reached a landmark in the development of its London portfolio with the 'Topping Out Ceremony and first preview of the £115m Hilton London Bankside, slated to open in summer 2015.
Situated next to the award-winning NEO Bankside development, with views over Tate Modern towards St Paul’s Cathedral, Hilton London Bankside is owned by Synergy Hotels and upon completion will operate under the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand.
The contemporary, full-service hotel will offer 292 guest rooms including a 100 sq m Presidential Suite and 20 further suites with different configurations, all showcasing modern design and spacious bathrooms.
Other amenities will include an executive lounge and a LivingWell fitness centre with an indoor swimming pool. The hotel will also feature an opulent ballroom with capacity for 700 guests and eight meeting rooms with professional amenities including video conferencing and WiFi.
Guests will be able to enjoy three different food and beverage outlets featuring an all-day dining restaurant, an atmospheric bar and a coffee shop.
Shiraz Boghani, Chairman of Synergy Hotels said, “It is exciting to see this building project move into its final stage with the Topping Out Ceremony. The South Bank rejuvenation began back in 2000 with the transformation of the riverside’s old power station into one of the world’s most iconic modern galleries. There are almost 17 million visitors to London every year and this vibrant area is now a destination in its own right. I am thrilled that in 12 months’ time Hilton London Bankside will open to guests.”
Simon Vincent, EVP and president, EMEA, Hilton Worldwide said, “London’s Southbank has been the subject of incredible regeneration over the past 15 years and it has a unique identity which attracts residents, tourists and business guests alike. Hilton London Bankside will be a striking addition to our burgeoning London portfolio of more than 30 trading hotels – its quality and scale further demonstrate our signature brand’s dominance in some of London’s best locations.”
