Hilton London Wembley is a 4-star hotel located just shy of Olympic Way in London’s Wembley. The hotel is famously located in-between Wembley Stadium and SSE Arena, making it an excellent location for concert goers and sporting fans alike. The hotel consists of 361 bedrooms, a grand ball room, eleven meeting spaces, Association Restaurant, Icons Bar & Grill and SkyBar9.

Hilton London Wembley reflects its sporting background and patriotism, influenced by its Olympic origin, with decorations and designs throughout the hotel. The hotel features a ‘wall of fame’ which exhibits frames of signed shirts and sporting memorabilia, not to mention Ed Sheeran’s signed guitar. Furthermore artworks in the hotel such as hand painted porcelain plates depicting the Thames and wallpaper portraying a series of historical Olympic events demonstrates the pride the hotel has for local culture.

Architecture
The Manser Practice was appointed by Quintain Estates to design the hotel. Whilst keeping the project within a ‘Hilton’ style, they incorporated a polished black ceramic façade which beautifully reflects both the SSE Arena and Wembley Stadium.

The hotel offers rooftop views of Wembley from its 9th floor SkyBar9. Dining in Association Restaurant or Icons Bar & Grill provides a similar visually stunning experience due to the hotel’s floor to ceiling windows and unaltered views of Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena.

History
The hotel was built in 2012 to coincide with the beginning of the London Olympics as part of a large scale rejuvenation effort of the Wembley area.
