Edwardian Hotels London is celebrating the ‘Bottoming Out’ of its bold new development in Leicester Square. Developers have now reached the lowest point of more than 30 metres below ground level, making it the deepest hotel basement in London.
Edwardian Hotels London marks this milestone in partnership with project engineers, Arup, and project developers, McGee.
The £300m investment from Edwardian Hotels London will open its doors in 2019 and will have a huge impact on this area of London, affirming the hospitality group as a key player within the capital for decades to come.
The site will include bars and restaurants, two Odeon cinemas, a banqueting suite and leisure facilities in the six levels below ground. Above ground, the hotel will offer 350 high quality rooms and suites.
To acknowledge today’s events, Edwardian Hotels London has also placed a time capsule in the basement area, containing blue prints, newspapers, and CGIs of the development.
“At Edwardian Hotels London we have a great heritage of improving existing properties and we have always wanted to develop our own site,” comments Iype Abraham, Commercial Development Director at Edwardian Hotels London.
“This is an exciting hotel development in a cultural and entertainment hub of the capital. It is our aim to continue to invest in Leicester Square, and complement the surrounding West End area, attracting both Londoners and tourists alike to the area.”
