art'otel London Battersea Power Station official launch date confirmed

PPHE Hotel Group, the international hospitality real estate group which develops, owns and operates hotels and resorts , is pleased to announce that art'otel London Battersea Power Station, the Group's first UK managed art'otel, will open its doors to guests on 12 December 2022, with the highly anticipated full launch in February 2023.  

The hotel will be operated by PPHE's hospitality management platform under a management agreement.  The Group's management platform is fully scalable and designed to grow through managing fully or jointly owned real estate, providing best in class revenue management and a flexible contract structure for asset owners.

The hotel's launch is expected to bring further energy to the recently launched and groundbreaking Battersea Power Station neighbourhood, offering a one-of-a-kind hotel experience that fuses art, design and hospitality with never-before-seen views particularly from the highly anticipated rooftop bar, heated infinity pool and hot tub located on the 16^th floor.

The 164-bedroom hotel will be located within Battersea Roof Gardens, a new building forming a key part of Electric Boulevard: a collection of buildings comprising homes, offices and a new pedestrianised high street which sits to the south of the iconic Power Station. Interiors have been designed by art'otel's award-winning Signature Artist Jaime Hayon, using his renowned bold, colourful and playful aesthetic style. The hotel features original art displayed from Hayon, with interiors inspired by the Power Station's history and heritage, as well as its future at the centre of a new cultural district and neighbourhood for London.

Facilities at art'otel include a gym, spa with sauna and steam room, six creative meeting and event spaces, and the TOZI Grand Cafe, with its very own art gallery. The gallery will be open to the public, and will showcase works from Hayon alongside a calendar of unmissable exhibitions, plus a series of cultural and artistic events supporting both emerging and established artists. In February 2023, the hotel will launch JOIA, a new skyline destination restaurant and bar created by Michelin-starred Portuguese chef Henrique Sá Pessoa.

This is the first of several new art'otels scheduled to open in London, Rome and Zagreb (Croatia). art'otel London Battersea Power Station will be joined by art'otel London Hoxton in early 2024.

Boris Ivesha, President & Chief Executive Officer, PPHE Hotel Group said:

"We are very pleased to confirm the official opening date of our first UK art'otel, in the highly anticipated new Battersea Power Station neighbourhood in London. Operating under a management agreement and utilising our best-in-class, scalable operating platform, the hotel will be a first-of-its-kind in many respects, and we expect demand to be high. We look forward to welcoming guests very soon."
