Aimed primarily at the corporate market, the hotel will be located at More London Place, opposite the Tower of London on the South Bank of the Thames.  The Hilton London Tower Bridge will provide 245 guestrooms and executive suites with executive lounge, and will feature a 400-delegate conference and banqueting room.  The hotel will feature a fully equipped business centre, as well as a lobby café and a ground floor signature restaurant/bar. A planning application has been submitted for the hotel, with a view to construction

More London masterplan will create a new working community on the south bank of the Thames between London and Tower Bridges, on a site that has remained undeveloped for decades.

Wolfgang M. Neumann, Area President, Hilton UK & Ireland, said: 'Situated in the world-class More London development, the Hilton London Tower Bridge will plug a hole in our current coverage of the London market, particularly given the excellent position for easy access to the City.'

This latest announcement from Hilton International covers just one of 52 upcoming hotels worldwide. In turn, it compromises one of seven new hotels for the Hilton UK & Ireland estate, including two further hotels for London.

About More London
