Hilton to open two new London hotels

London is to have two more Hilton Hotels to strengthen its growing presence in the capital.  However the company, owned by the New York Stock Exchange listed Blackstone Group, a private equity firm, has been very careful in its choice of names to avoid confusion.

The Hilton London Southbank is situated next to the Neo Bankside residential development behind the Tate Modern, and is scheduled to open in 2012.  Facilities will include a four-storey glass atrium, 31 suites, an executive lounge, LivingWell fitness centre, swimming pool, over 1,000sqm of meeting space, and a restaurant, bar and café at the front of the property.

London’s first Hampton by Hilton property is set to welcome guests in 2013, and will be located close to Waterloo station on the site of Partnership House.  The hotel will feature 278 rooms, with facilities including complimentary hot breakfast, a 24-hour snack area, and an evening bar. www.hilton.com
