Lifestyle hotel operator Art’otel has signed an agreement to manage a new hotel at the Battersea Power Station redevelopment.
Due to open in 2019, the property will be set around the historic grade II listed building and feature an outdoor bar and swimming pool overlooking the iconic chimneys.
The 160-plus bedroom hotel will be developed by Battersea Power Station and managed by PPHE Hotel Group, owner of the Art’otel brand.
Rob Tincknell, chief executive of Battersea Power Station Development Company, said: “We are incredibly excited to be announcing this important transaction and for it to be with such an innovative hotel company.”
He added: “Art’otel was a standout winner, a brand unlike anything we have seen in London to date, and it is particularly fitting for it to have art at the very heart of the brand and the hotel itself. I am confident that together with Art’otel we will deliver a beyond expectations hotel.”
Designed by Foster and Partners the property will feature a public gallery - a multi-purpose creative space which will offer rotating exhibitions and cultural events.
