Hyatt has confirmed an opening date of 26 May 2026 for the Hyatt Regency London Olympia, establishing the brand's fifth Regency-branded property in the capital and marking a significant milestone in the £1.3 billion regeneration of the Olympia exhibition complex in Hammersmith & Fulham.
The hotel occupies Emberton House — formerly a five-storey car park adjacent to the Olympia venue — transformed as part of a wider redevelopment led by property group Yoo Capital and Deutsche Finance International. The project has repurposed the site into a mixed-use destination combining exhibition space, entertainment venues, residential accommodation, a cinema and leisure facilities alongside the new hotel.
Property Details
The Hyatt Regency London Olympia opens with 204 rooms and suites, with rates starting at £299 per night. The property targets both leisure travellers and the significant corporate and conference market generated by the adjacent Olympia event venue, which hosts major trade shows, exhibitions and consumer events throughout the year.
Food and beverage provision is split across two in-house outlets. The Lounge Café and Bar in the hotel lobby will serve light bites, coffee and cocktails, designed as a flexible all-day space for hotel guests and the wider Olympia visitor. Hotel Market at the main entrance will offer a grab-and-go format, serving the fast pace of the event venue trade.
The Pillar Hall
The most commercially interesting element for the hospitality sector may be the agreement with D3 Collective to operate the adjacent Pillar Hall. The Grade II-listed Victorian hall — with its distinctive iron columns and vaulted glass ceiling — will be operated by D3 as a full restaurant and speakeasy bar with live music. Hotel guests will have priority access, but the venue is designed as a standalone destination in its own right, adding significant F&B depth to the Olympia offer beyond what the hotel alone could support.
Market Position
The confirmation of the 26 May opening places Hyatt Regency London Olympia into a competitive West London hotel market at a time when new upper-upscale supply continues to come online. The Olympia location is distinct from the traditional hotel corridors around Heathrow or the West End, offering instead proximity to Kensington, Notting Hill and Fulham alongside direct Elizabeth line connectivity to the City and Heathrow.
The project is the seventh Hyatt Regency in the UK and reinforces the group's continued commitment to the London market despite broader macroeconomic headwinds affecting new-build hotel development across the country.
