Explore the newly opened Park Hyatt London River Thames

The 203-room Park Hyatt London River Thames has officially opened its doors as of October 8, 2024. Located in South West London’s Nine Elms district, the hotel is part of a mixed-use skyscraper project. While this isn’t the most central location for visitors to London, the area is rapidly growing, and space within the city is limited.

The development includes a 42-story River Tower, which houses 103 Park Hyatt Residences and the Park Hyatt Hotel, alongside a 57-story City Tower with 334 residential apartments. Guest rooms occupy the first 18 floors of the smaller tower, meaning that while views might be limited for most, the amenities are impressive. The hotel offers three food and beverage outlets, including The Nine Elms Kitchen & Terrace, The Nine Elms Bar & Lounge, and TAMISé Tea Lounge & Wine Library. Additionally, a Cantonese restaurant is set to open later in the year.

The property features a full floor dedicated to wellness, complete with a 20-meter swimming pool, a spa with six treatment rooms, and a gym with double-height ceilings. Base rooms range from 290 to 398 square feet, with entry-level suites starting at 560 square feet, which are somewhat small for London but in line with the less-central location.

London’s Growing Luxury Points Hotels

London has historically lacked luxury properties from major hotel groups, such as Park Hyatt, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, or Waldorf Astoria, but that’s beginning to change. In addition to the Park Hyatt, the city will welcome new luxury points hotels in the coming years. In 2025, the 196-room St. Regis London and the Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch are both set to open, promising even more upscale options for travelers.

Conclusion

The Park Hyatt London River Thames has officially opened in the Nine Elms district, bringing the Park Hyatt brand to London for the first time. While the location may not be ideal for everyone, it offers a luxurious stay with impressive amenities. We are also looking forward to the future openings of the St. Regis and Waldorf Astoria in London, which will further enhance the city’s luxury hotel offerings.
