citizenM‘s newest UK property will open in the heart of central London this July.
10 years after the opening of the brand’s first London hotel, industry disruptor citizenM will bring its hybrid hotel model to a new address at 292 Vauxhall Bridge Road.
Intended for business travellers and leisure visitors alike as somewhere to sleep, work, meet and relax, the new hotel neighbours the transport hubs of Victoria train and bus stations on Vauxhall Bridge Road – offering easy links to Gatwick Airport and Greater London – and is close to major London tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace and the Tate Britain.
citizenM London Victoria’s 226 rooms across 10 floors each have an XL king-size bed (and sumptuous bedding), powerful rain shower, one-touch MoodPad control – including pre-programmed mood settings – for ambient lighting temperature, entertainment, wake-up alarm and blinds, and an HD TV with streaming capabilities.
The interior design of both the rooms and public spaces feature citizenM’s trademark clean lines, modern furniture and bold colours. Both the interior and the exterior are designed by citizenM’s Amsterdam-based long-standing collaborator, Concrete, teaming up with executive architecture and interior design firm, Ica.
As a hybrid hotel, citizenM will be bringing distinctive communal spaces to its new neighbourhood. The Living Room is intended as a home-from-home; a cosy space with corners and nooks for working, lounging, reading and relaxing. In this space, citizenM’s ‘curated chaos’ includes art, books and local artefacts alongside stylish, comfortable furnishings by long-term collaborator Vitra.
24/7 canteenM is positioned in the centre of the building, serving as pit stop for a bite to eat at any time of day. Behind the bar, a wavy iconic bench is placed on a raised platform, connecting with Kings Scholars Passage (KSP). Natural daylight flows into the building from the open windows at the back of the space.
“We are excited to open the doors to our latest London property,” says Klaas van Lookeren Campagne, CEO of citizenM hotels. “With three hotels already operating successfully in the city, this new property offers a fantastic addition to our existing portfolio and confirms our commitment to expand further in London’s most desirable neighbourhoods.”
