Overview

Hilton London Metropole Hotel is a four-star conference hotel, and meetings and events form a large part of their business.

Location

Located in central London, the hotel is easily accessible to all major UK airports (Heathrow Airport, London City, and Gatwick airports) and major national rail stations (Euston, Marylebone, and St Pancras International). For delegates driving the hotel is outside London's congestion zone. The A40 motorway is meters away and the hotel offers a car park of 130 spaces available onsite.  

Design

The hotel design is inspired by the local area with a contemporary and bold aesthetic that reflects different London boroughs. As you enter the foyer, it is evident that the hotel is divided into 3 buildings (East, Tower, and West) and each section is influenced by a specific London area. The East section is influenced by East London Maritime, where our executive facilities are available. The Central Tower building in the middle is inspired by Borough Market in central London. The West Wing influenced by West London can be used as an exclusive area for Big events. 

Bedrooms

The East Wing is home to executive facilities with 200 Executive Rooms and Suites. Along with the Executive Lounge on the 2nd floor. This wing can be isolated from the rest of the hotel, to have a hotel within a hotel. The Admiral Suite (724 sqm/ 7,748 sqf) can be found here with small/flexible breakout rooms such as the GMT Suite, and Mezzanine meeting rooms. 

The Central Tower Wing is where most bedrooms, 538 entry-level and deluxe rooms, can be found. On the top floor, Room 23 (200 sqm/ 2,153 sqf) our Sky Lounge meeting overlooking London, can be used as an extra breakout room or for a private event. 

The West Wing provides 362 bedrooms that include all 2 Queens bedrooms, large King Superior rooms, and the Penthouse Suite. In the West Wing our two twin ballrooms Kensington Suite & Richmond Suite (1,110 sqm/ 11,948 sqf) can be found with their dedicated foyer and main stairs case to the ballrooms. 

Restaurant

The ground floor houses the main food & beverage outlets. Such as the hotel "Bow Bar" right next to the hotel's main entrance in the East Wing. Then the Market-style coffee outlet “Tyburn Market” in Central Tower. Finally, the main guest restaurant is an all-day British brasserie “Tyburn Kitchen”, serving locally sourced ingredients and can sit up to 350 covers for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or private functions halfway between Central Tower and West Wing. 

Meeting space

Meeting rooms are divided into two sections, the East and West Wings, therefore events can be separated into different parts of the hotel. A décor with neutral and light colours across the 35 meeting rooms that allows privacy and flexibility.

The West Wing can be used as an exclusive area with a dedicated entrance leading to an open foyer and two large ballrooms, each meeting able to host 1,350 guests in theatre style. This area of the hotel features a double-height ceiling across both ballrooms and the foyer, allowing lighting and branding opportunities.

It is worth noting that the largest size of guestrooms is located in the West Wing.

In the East Wing is located the third largest ballroom Admiral Suite which can hold up to 800 delegates in theatre style, a smaller meeting room GMT Suite for 200 in the theatre, and finally the Mezzanine meeting rooms for up to 12 small breakout rooms. 

Being a business hotel, there is a small business centre.

Experience

The hotel has successfully hosted a wide range of Healthcare sector events such as external advisory boards, regional meetings, product launches, and large internal sales conferences. During the pandemic, the hotel worked closely with the nearby hospital and continues to support the NHS and other healthcare companies.

Fitness

Guests have access to a fitness gym with free weights and machines. There are no additional leisure or spa facilities available.

This venue is in a destination that has a strong offering for both business and leisure visitors. As a result, people's perceptions of the venue may differ depending on how they use the location for meetings. This venue is located close to but not in the immediate vicinity of a number of the city's tourist attractions. These, in our opinion, have no bearing on the venue's meeting proposition, which, with 35 meeting rooms, is substantial. There is a clear separation between the hotel site and the attractions.

There is a fitness centre but no pool and spa treatments are not available.
