LONDON
The five-star Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill reopened following its multimillion-pound refurbishment.
The renovation includes the addition of six new guest rooms bringing the total to 440 rooms and suites.
The property is nestled in the city’s West End, near Hyde Park and London's most famous shopping districts of Oxford Street and Bond Street.
With the help of Sir Winston Churchill’s family, the refurbishment has brought to life the character of the hotel’s namesake, Sir Winston Churchill, drawing upon his sartorial elegance in the design of the new guest rooms, suites and meeting spaces. Original artworks, as well as fine fabrics and iconic designs– namely bespoke herringbone, button detailing and signature furniture pieces–reflect the iconic leader’s love of quality craftsmanship and the celebrated British tailoring industry.
Churchill’s relationship with his wife Clementine is also reflected in original photographs, art works and love letters throughout the hotel. In The Churchill Bar & Terrace, elegant bookshelves curated by Daunt Books feature a range of literature reflecting the interests of young Churchill and Clementine. Lawrence Holofcener’s sculpture of Young Winston also sits on the bar’s alfresco terrace, with staff placing a fresh rose in the sculpture’s lapel every morning, just as Clementine did.
“We are thrilled to have completed the hotel’s refurbishment and we are looking forward to welcoming new and returning guests. It was an honor to work so closely with Churchill’s family to bring to life the character and history of the hotel’s namesake and we are delighted with the results,” said Arnaud de Saint-Exupery, area vice president for Hyatt in the United Kingdom and Ireland and hotel general manager. “At Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill, we are proud to offer business and leisure travelers alike the perfect place in which to work or relax in one of the world's most iconic cities.”
In addition to guest rooms, the hotel completed a refurbishment of three meeting and event spaces: the Blenheim, Marlborough and Spencer Suites. The fresh, modern spaces boast natural daylight and have been thoughtfully designed to reflect the contemporary-classic style of the hotel, as well Churchill’s renowned character and the quality and style of the iconic British tailoring industry.
The main draw of these spaces is the advanced technology, including digital signage, wireless audiovisual control, retractable projector screens, airplay connectivity and “Bring Your Own Device” functionality. Overall there are 11 event rooms that can accommodate up to 350 guests.
