Hyatt Regency London Olympia opens at the heart of West London's £1.3 BN Landmark regeneration

The 204-room hotel blends contemporary comfort with unrivalled access to London's newest cultural, entertainment and business destination

CHICAGO (July 7, 2026) - Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the opening of 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 travellers."

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 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 theatre, creating a vibrant hub for business and leisure travellers 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.

Heritage architecture reimagined

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 co-designed by Heatherwick Studio and SPPARC. Inside, London-based design studio twenty2degrees has thoughtfully transformed the building's early 20th Century industrial aesthetic, weaving in refined Art Deco influences and nods to Olympia's storied past.

Bespoke artwork throughout tells a story of past and present. Corridor walls feature reinterpretations of Eadweard Muybridge's pioneering chronophotography, paying homage to the venue's inaugural Hippodrome Circus. In the rooms, framed visual codes celebrate the world's first computer exhibition held at Olympia and the legendary rock artists who have performed on the venue's stage including Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and The Chemical Brothers. Contrasting metalwork, figured marble and a grey and deep green colour palette bring warmth and the interior detailing associated with Art Deco.

Three new dining experiences

Hyatt Regency London Olympia introduces a collection of dining experiences tailored to the bustling rhythm of the neighborhood. The 1937 Lounge & Bar serves as a welcoming social hub, offering coffee, light bites and cocktails throughout the day. For guests on the move, The Market offers a convenient grab-and-go option designed for busy schedules. Adjacent to the hotel in the iconic Grade II listed Pillar Hall, Idalia restaurant serves up a vibrant 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.

Contemporary comfort with intuitive design

The hotel features 204 spacious guestrooms and suites across 14 categories; each designed for comfort and ease. Guestrooms are thoughtfully 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 thoughtful 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.

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 centre capable of hosting up to 20,000 attendees, a couple of minutes' walk from the hotel.

Wellbeing and lifestyle integration

Guests 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 for relaxation and recreation.

"Opening Hyatt Regency London Olympia is an incredibly proud moment - for our team and for everyone who has played a part in bringing this remarkable project back to life," said Georges Moura, General Manager, Hyatt Regency London Olympia. "This hotel is designed to connect people to the story of Olympia and to the energy, culture and community that make this neighborhood so special. Whether guests are here for a conference, exhibition, or live performance, we are committed to making every part of their experience seamless and memorable."
