The iconic Hilton London Metropole is undergoing a multimillion-pound makeover, aiming to redefine the guest experience. The hotel, a mainstay in the heart of London, is set for a complete transformation by the summer of 2021. This ambitious project promises to elevate every aspect of the hotel, from its rooms to its restaurants, bars, and event spaces.
Every corner of the hotel is being touched by this ambitious renovation. From the 1,096 guestrooms and suites to the four restaurants and bars, everything is receiving a modern update. The guestrooms boast a contemporary and bold design, inspired by different London boroughs, while the restaurants and bars feature exciting new concepts, including a British brasserie with locally sourced ingredients and a market-style dining outlet, celebrating London’s vibrant street food scene. A state-of-the-art fitness studio is also being added to cater to health-conscious guests.
The hotel’s event spaces are receiving a significant upgrade, too. Thirty-five meeting rooms, including two hybrid meeting rooms and three ballrooms, are being modernized and expanded, totalling over 4,600 square meters of space. These spaces are perfect for everything from intimate meetings to grand celebrations. Hilton London Metropole is also committed to ensuring safe and responsible event experiences with its Hilton EventReady with CleanStay program.
Hilton London Metropole’s general manager, Remco Norden, is enthusiastic about the renovation’s impact. “This ambitious project will maintain Hilton London Metropole as Europe’s leading conference and events hotel,” he says. “It’s not just about physical changes; it’s about elevating the guest experience and making us the go-to destination for both business and leisure travelers.”
The hotel is embracing technology to ensure a seamless guest experience. From upgraded Wi-Fi to the introduction of Digital Key, which allows Hilton Honors members to check in and choose their room using their smartphone, technology is enhancing the guest journey.
The design project celebrates London’s rich history and vibrant culture. The new design weaves London’s heritage into the hotel, with references to the city’s art, music, and diverse food scene. Guests can immerse themselves in the capital’s story through the hotel’s architecture, design, restaurants, and bars.
Sustainability is a core value for Hilton London Metropole. From the team members’ uniforms made from recycled materials to the use of locally grown produce in the kitchens, the hotel is committed to operating in an ethical and environmentally conscious way.
Guests staying in Suites or Executive Rooms enjoy exclusive perks, including complimentary breakfast and access to the contemporary Executive Lounge, featuring dedicated check-in facilities and a curated food and drink offering throughout the day. The lounge also hosts monthly tasting and live cooking experiences.
Hilton London Metropole’s commitment to guest well-being is evident in its partnership with Hilton CleanStay. This program ensures a high standard of cleanliness and disinfection, giving guests peace of mind about their health and safety.
The hotel’s impressive amenities and central location make it the ideal choice for business travelers. With a range of rooms and suites, impeccable transport links, a wide selection of dining options, and an on-site fitness studio, Hilton London Metropole offers everything a business traveler needs for a successful and enjoyable stay.
By embracing innovation, technology, and sustainability, Hilton London Metropole is poised to remain a leading destination for travelers seeking a unique and enriching experience in the heart of London.
