Hilton's Conrad brand to make London debut

Hilton Worldwide is to bring its luxury Conrad Hotels & Resorts brand to London for the first time, with a 256-room property in close proximity to a number of major landmarks.

Conrad London Westminster will open in September as part of a franchise agreement with Supreme Hotels, a subsidiary of owner, operator and developer Splendid Hospitality Group. It will join 23 other Conrad properties around the world.

The six-floor property, which is located between Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace and is currently the Intercontinental London Westminster, has 42 premium rooms and luxurious suites including a discreet penthouse.

It will also include a 24-hour business centre, seven fully equipped Conrad meeting rooms as well as the Whitehall Suite which can accommodate up to 300 guests.

John T.A. Vanderslice, global head, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Worldwide, said: “Conrad creates inspired experiences for our guests in the world’s gateway cities and most sought after leisure destinations.

“London continues to be a political, cultural, and economic powerhouse in the world, which makes it a natural destination for international travellers. We look forward to introducing Conrad London Westminster to the city of London.”

Hilton Worldwide officially opened its first Conrad property in the GCC, Conrad Dubai, in November.
