The 160-room property will be managed by Park Plaza parent PPHE Hotel Group, under the art’otel brand, and is scheduled to open in 2019. The building will feature a


public gallery that will exhibit artists’ work. Facilities will include a lounge


ROOFTOP POOL: Views of capital


and cafe, plus rooftop gardens with panoramic views over London. The property will be the UK’s


first art’otel and will be based on the brand’s Amsterdam hotel. It will form part of Phase 3,


the Electric Boulevard element of the Battersea Power Station development project. Rob Tincknell, chief executive


of Battersea Power Station Development Company, said many hotel groups had been vying for the contract. “The selection process to find


the right brand and operator was a thorough one, involving the leading hotel brands from around the world,” he said. “But art’otel was a standout
