The 153-room property will join the lifestyle collection under a franchise agreement with Gama Holdings and is expected to reopen in early 2028 following a transformation of more than £12 million.

The signing will introduce Hilton’s ninth brand to London.

Located at 8–18 London Bridge Street beside London Bridge Station, the hotel is within walking distance of The Shard, Borough Market, Tower Bridge and the South Bank.

The transformed property will comprise 153 guestrooms, including garden vault rooms, catering for both corporate and leisure travellers.

A redesigned ground floor will introduce a number of new food and beverage concepts, all of which will be operated by Individual Restaurants.

Tapestry Collection by Hilton comprises independently styled hotels designed to retain their individual identity and connection to their destination while operating within Hilton’s wider network.

The London signing follows further UK and Ireland expansion for the brand, including recently announced properties in Plymouth and Cork scheduled to open in 2027.

Four Tapestry Collection hotels are already operating across the UK: The Samuel Ryder Hotel St Albans, Elmbank York, The Marcus Portrush and Dover Marina Hotel & Spa.

Christian Charnaux, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer at Hilton, said: “London and the broader UK and Ireland region continue to present tremendous opportunities for growth, and this signing is another great example of how we are driving value for owners and strengthening our network effect around the world.

“Through our partnership with Gama Holdings, we are delighted to introduce Tapestry Collection to the city, further expanding our lifestyle portfolio in one of the world’s most important travel destinations.

“This signing builds on the strong momentum we are seeing across our brand portfolio in the region and reflects continued demand from owners for the scale, commercial engines and industry-leading returns that Hilton delivers.”

Simon Elias, President of Gama Holdings, said: “Having owned London Bridge Hotel for more than 30 years, it is incredibly rewarding to see the property enter this exciting new phase.

“We believe Hilton is the ideal partner to help realise our vision for the hotel’s future, and we are delighted to introduce Tapestry Collection to London.

“This partnership combines the character and heritage of the hotel with the strength of one of the world’s leading hospitality companies, and I am confident it will be something we can all be proud of for many years to come.”

Guests at the hotel will also have access to Hilton Honors when the property joins the group.

London Bridge Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton is expected to welcome its first guests in early 2028.
