A WELCOME BOOST for accommodation at London's ExCel exhibition centre is planned for the spring of 2013 with the opening of a new Park Inn by Rezidor.
The 20-storey hotel will have 223 bedrooms, a restaurant and bar, and a fitness room. It will also have four meeting rooms, with a total space of 450sq m. The property will be located 200m from ExCel, which at 100,000sq m is the largest event centre in London.
The announcement is good news for event organisers who have bemoaned the shortage of large London venues.
