Hyatt
Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) announced today the opening
of Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars. Marking a
key milestone in Hyatt’s strategic brand growth in the UK capital, the 204-room
hotel is the 14th property in the country, demonstrating the United
Kingdom as a priority growth market within Hyatt’s diverse and evolving brand
portfolio. In the last five years, Hyatt has increased its brand presence in
the UK from five to 13 properties, with six of those based in London.
Housed in a grade II listed building on the former grounds of King Henry
VIII’s Bridewell Palace, Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars claims a prime spot
in London’s business and leisure district, home to global corporations,
influential businesses, and law firms. Guests will be able to enjoy convenient
access to all that the capital has to offer, with Blackfriars Underground and
railway stations just a few minutes away. Many of London’s most popular
attractions including St Paul’s Cathedral, Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe
are also within walking distance from the hotel.
In line with the
Hyatt Regency brand ethos, the hotel has been intuitively designed for
productivity and peace of mind, with an environment for guests to work, connect
or relax. Well-appointed guestrooms and suites boast contemporary finishes,
high-end amenities, and dedicated workspaces. Three dynamic and diverse food
and beverage concepts are poised to become new local culinary destinations.
Meanwhile a trio of versatile group spaces offer to host a wide range of
meeting and events in this desirable central London location. Guests also
benefit from access to a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center.
“We are delighted to
welcome guests to Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars situated alongside our
neighboring landmarks, businesses and cultural attractions,” said Laurent
Schauder, general manager of Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars. “With our
welcoming service, inventive food and beverage offerings and ideal location,
Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars is soon to become the hotel of choice for
anyone looking for a memorable experience in the heart of the city”.
Guestrooms
Designed by THDP Ltd,
the hotel’s interiors are influenced by its local history. The building’s past
life as one of King Henry VIII’s royal palaces is referenced in the materials
used throughout the hotel, with marble ceramics and gold finishes evoking its
former regality. With Fleet Street, the historic hub of printing and
publishing, just around the corner, Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars pays
homage to the craftsmanship of the trade through the bespoke artwork inspired
by the art of newspapers that adorns its walls.
204 guestrooms and
suites provide impressive views of the listed buildings that once held iconic
printing presses, while others offer the chance to marvel at the famous skyline
of the city of London. With 10 room categories and up to 753 square feet (70
square meters) of space, guests can enjoy the hotel’s modern guestrooms,
complemented by ergonomic work areas, rainfall showers and comfortable
aesthetics.
Culinary Experiences
Three innovative food
and beverage concepts are set to mark Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars as the
new destination for inspired cuisine and mixology.
The Chinese Cricket
Club fuses traditional techniques and the finest ingredients to offer a
contemporary take on Chinese classics. The restaurant is named in honor of the
captain of the Shanghai XI cricket team, Feng, who travelled to England in 1857
with his bride, Xiu. When arriving to Blackfriars’ docks, the couple made their
way to Limehouse, where Xiu opened the first traditional Chinese restaurant in
London. Their legacy lives on in the inviting backdrop of The Chinese Cricket
Club and its rich and diverse menu of homemade dim sum and signature
specialties.
New York and London
meet at NYnLON, a neighborhood-style bistro that celebrates the
charm, heritage, and influence of the two great cities. The all-day menu brings
together local and sustainable dining, with elevated comfort food favorites,
accompanied by an extensive drinks list showcasing authentic American whiskies
and exceptional natural wines.
Get lost at The
Leaf and Cane, a 1920s inspired hideaway offering a vibrant atmosphere and
delightful street food paired with crafted cocktails and premium rums. Bringing
the lively flavors of Latin America to central London, The Leaf and Cane
immerses guests in a colorful jungle, inviting them to uncover its hidden
garden, secret stone vaults, and innovative mixology.
Meeting and Events
For seamless events
in the city of London, Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars offers up to 4,628
square feet (430 square meters) of multifunctional, thoughtful event space. Two
medium-sized spaces have been designed to optimize productivity, and are well
suited for meetings, or small group gatherings. The main function room can seat
approximately 150 people and is an ideal choice for conferences or large
events, benefitting from technology-enabled features, enviable transport
connections and a sophisticated city location.
Hyatt Regency London
Blackfriars joins a growing list of Hyatt properties in the UK, and marks the
ninth Hyatt branded hotel in London, joining Hyatt Regency London Albert Embankment, Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill; Great Scotland Yard Hotel, part of The
Unbound Collection by Hyatt; Andaz London Liverpool Street, Hyatt Place London City East, Hyatt Place London Heathrow Airport and Hyatt Regency London Stratford and Hyatt House London Stratford.
