A New Look, From Top to Bottom
The renovation goes far beyond a simple facelift. Every element of the hotel is being revamped, including:
- Guestrooms and Suites: The 1,096 guestrooms and suites are receiving a striking transformation, featuring a contemporary and bold aesthetic. Each space is designed to reflect the unique character of different London boroughs.

- Fitness: A state-of-the-art 200sqm (2,153sqf) fitness studio is being added, providing guests with a space to stay active during their stay.
Reimagining Meetings and Events
Hilton London Metropole is renowned for its impressive event spaces, and the renovation will further elevate this area. Extensive renovations are being undertaken to enhance the hotel’s 35 event spaces and meeting rooms, including two dedicated hybrid meeting rooms and three ballrooms. These spaces, ranging from the 1,062 Square Metres (11,431sqf) Richmond Suite to the Kensington Suite, with its spacious private foyer, can accommodate up to 1,350 guests.
Hilton London Metropole is committed to providing a safe and responsible event experience with Hilton EventReady with CleanStay. This program ensures that all events are clean, flexible, safe, and socially responsible.
A Vision for the Future
The renovation is driven by a commitment to maintaining Hilton London Metropole’s position as a leading conference and events hotel in Europe. Remco Norden, Area General Manager, states: “Our ambitious multimillion pound renovation will radically transform every element of the hotel, from our restaurants and bars to our bedrooms, suites and meeting and event spaces. It will elevate the guest experience and continue to make us the venue of choice for business and leisure travelers and corporate and private events of any scale.”
Norden continues, “The refurbishment celebrates London and our hotel’s wonderful history. Despite the challenges the industry has faced in 2020, our hotel has an incredibly bright future and this renovation is our opportunity to invest in it.”
Technology and Sustainability at the Forefront
The renovation is not just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a seamless and sustainable guest experience. The hotel is embracing the latest technology, including upgraded Wi-Fi and Digital Key, allowing Hilton Honors members to check in and select their room using their smartphone via the Hilton Honours app.
Sustainability is also a core principle of the renovation. From using sustainable materials, such as recycled plastic, in the team members’ uniforms to sourcing locally grown produce for the hotel’s kitchens, Hilton London Metropole is committed to creating an ethical and environmentally conscious space.
An Unforgettable Stay Awaits
The new Hilton London Metropole will offer guests a truly immersive experience. The design thoughtfully incorporates London’s history and culture, showcasing the city’s iconic landmarks and diverse neighborhoods.
