The multi-million-pound project introduces twelve new premium room and suite categories
15 December 2025, London UK: Hilton London Bankside, the award-winning, design-led hotel, owned by Splendid Hospitality Group, unveils expansion featuring 76 newly designed rooms and suites, taking the total number to 368. The development introduces 12 new room categories, including upgraded suite experiences with elevated design concepts, with rooms available to book now for stays from 1st February 2026.
To realise the project’s creative vision, Hilton London Bankside has partnered with an award-winning interior design agency, SpaceInvader. The new rooms draw inspiration from the expressive character of the hotel’s Bankside location, incorporating rich pops of colour, bold patterns, and elevated fringing and piping details as a nod to the theatrical culture of the area. Reflecting creativity, culture, and connectivity, guests can expect custom designed aspects throughout, from fluid sculptural headboards to angular full-length mirrors, echoing the area’s architectural diversity.
Studio Graphite acted as the Art Consultant for the project, paying homage to the nearby Tate Modern and local celebrated graffiti culture. Strategically placed pieces and thoughtfully designed lighting accentuate and draw focus to the art, lending each room a gallery-esque feel.
The newly built ninth floor offers sweeping views across Bankside and the surrounding London skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. The King One Bedroom City View Suite and the King One Bedroom Landmark View Suite feature kitchenettes, refined dining areas and walk-in showers with jets for added comfort. The City View Suite also features a sensor-lit walk-in wardrobe, while the Landmark View Suite offers a private mini gym and wellness zone with personalised lighting, sound and scent programmes. A tailored in-room fitness menu allows guests to request additional equipment.
Catering to wellness-minded travellers, the new Premium Peloton Room features a dedicated fitness alcove, flooded with natural light, complete with a personal Peloton Bike, for guests to maintain their fitness routines.
Family travel continues to be a core focus for Hilton London Bankside. Welcoming touches for younger guests include a sweet stand and cartoons in the lobby, a ‘fox cub trail’ throughout the hotel, and flexible interconnecting family rooms. The new King Premier One Bedroom Suite sleeps a family of four and features an elegant marble dining table, a spacious lounge with a plush textured sofa, contemporary artwork and warm wood panelling for a calm, residential feel. The Two Queen Superior Room features two plush queen-sized beds, is ideal for a family of four, friends travelling together, or guests who enjoy extra room to relax. For smaller families, and groups of three, the Twin Premium and King Premium suites feature a chaise sofa, which can be converted into a single bed.
In line with Hilton’s Travel with Purpose strategy, the expansion continues the property’s sustainability commitments, which were recently recognised with the title of Best Luxury Sustainable Hotel in Northern Europe at the 2025 World Luxury Hotel Awards. The new rooms incorporate eco-friendly materials including Silestone tabletops made with a minimum of 20% recycled materials and manufactured using 100% certified renewable energy and 99% recycled water. Carpets are cradle to cradle bronze certified, whilst mural wallpaper utilises BIOVYNTM, produced from 100% bio-sourced ethylene.
Raoul De Souza, General Manager at Hilton London Bankside, comments: “The extension marks a very exciting time for Hilton London Bankside and is a project we are delighted to see come to life. I’m immensely proud of the dedication shown across every stage, from the initial design process through to construction, and of the hotel team who continue to deliver outstanding hospitality. As we look ahead, this development not only strengthens our hotel but also creates significant new opportunities to expand our team, grow talent and support the continued success of both Hilton London Bankside and Splendid Hospitality Group.”
Andrew Kendrick, Managing Director – Hotels at Splendid Hospitality Group, adds “The addition of 76 new rooms and suites at Hilton London Bankside further reinforces Splendid Hospitality Group’s position as a significant and growing force within the London hotel market. Hilton London Bankside is a powerful example of how Splendid offers strong operational leadership to create exceptional hotel experiences for guests, while continuing to grow our footprint in the capital.”
Nadeem Boghani, Executive Chairman of Splendid Hospitality Group, commented: “We are extremely proud of the continued investment in and development of Hilton London Bankside.
