Hyatt Hotels Corporation opened early July the Hyatt Regency London Olympia, located within the recently redeveloped £1.3bn Olympia destination. The opening marks the fifth Hyatt Regency hotel in London as the brand continues to expand in Europe’s most visited city[1] and across the U.K., unlocking more choices for World of Hyatt members.
“We’re proud to open Hyatt Regency London Olympia right at the heart of one of London’s most exciting new developments,” said Guillaume Paupy, Area Vice President, Hyatt U.K. & Ireland.
“The hotel is built around the approachable, community-based experience that defines the Hyatt Regency brand, bringing together comfort, style and intuitive service in an exceptional location. The opening represents a significant milestone for Hyatt as we continue to expand our portfolio in key gateway cities across the U.K. and Ireland. The enduring appeal and demand for well-located hotels with great design and amenities in the capital is why London remains central to our U.K. growth strategy, and Hyatt Regency London Olympia is set to be the destination of choice for both business and leisure travelers,” he described.
In the heart of London’s most ambitious regeneration
Hyatt Regency London Olympia sits at the heart of one of the capital’s most ambitious transformations – a £1.3bn (US$1.75bn) project that is reimagining Olympia as a world-class destination for culture, business and entertainment.
The area brings together offices, dining, a live music venue and theater, creating a vibrant hub for business and leisure travelers alike. Directly opposite Kensington Olympia station, the hotel offers swift connections to central London and Heathrow Airport, with landmarks including Holland Park, Kensington Palace, the Design Museum and the Natural History Museum all within easy reach.
Set within Emberton House, originally opened in 1937 as one of Europe’s largest multi-story car parks, the hotel represents a bold architectural reimagining of a London landmark. Inside, Hyatt has thoughtfully transformed the building’s early 20thcentury industrial aesthetic, weaving in refined Art Deco influences and nods to Olympia’s storied past with bespoke artwork.
Contemporary comfort with a large choice of eating outlets
The hotel features 204 spacious guestrooms and suites across 14 categories. Guestrooms are zoned into a ‘Work and Play’ area, pairing the bed with a well-appointed desk, and a ‘Groom and Prep’ zone, separated by a sliding glass door.
Combined with smart technology including keyless entry and energy-efficient systems, flexible layouts and in-room amenities, every guest enjoys seamless convenience, comfort and connectivity throughout their stay.
Beyond the guestroom, inviting public areas provide a relaxing, convivial retreat from the busy exhibition halls and event spaces nearby, welcoming spaces for guests to gather, connect and unwind, true to the Hyatt Regency ethos of communal connection.
Hyatt Regency London Olympia offers a collection of dining experiences. The 1937 Lounge & Bar serves coffee, light bites and cocktails throughout the day. For guests on the move, The Market has a convenient grab-and-go option.
Adjacent to the hotel in the iconic Grade II listed Pillar Hall, Idalia restaurant serves up an all-day dining concept helmed by chefs Samantha Williams and Lorena Tommasi. Drawing on modern British cuisine with European and Asian influences, Idalia’s menu reflects the international spirit of Olympia’s community.
Guests also have access to a dedicated on-site fitness center, as well as direct entry to a premium fitness studio within the Olympia complex. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of nearby floodlit tennis courts, while the surrounding Kensington neighborhood offers green spaces such as Holland Park.
A dynamic hub for business and events
With over 900 square feet of flexible meeting and event space across three rooms, the hotel caters to board meetings, executive workshops and intimate gatherings. For larger-scale events, guests benefit from direct access to Olympia’s extensive event ecosystem, including an international convention center capable of hosting up to 20,000 attendees, a couple of minutes’ walk from the hotel.
