The Londoner set for summer opening

The Londoner hotel is on course to open in June 2020 in one of the year's most eagerly anticipated additions to the capital's accommodation portfolio.

Developed by Edwardian Hotels London and located near Leicester Square, the new-build 16-storey property will have 350 rooms and is being described as 'boutique in feel yet staggering in scale'. It will also have a penthouse with panoramic views, two private screening rooms, six restaurants and bars – including a ground floor tavern and a rooftop terrace – plus a ballroom for up to 864 guests and various meeting and event spaces.

Its developers have secured a £175million Green Loan from HSBC UK to ensure the new hotel ”doesn’t just meet but exceeds the BREEAM Excellent category in building environmental and sustainable performance“.
