• The Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster is a 464-room hotel, located in the famous London district and just a few metres from iconic landmarks such as Big Ben and Westminster Abbey

The strong demand for this asset has been instrumental in the hotel group’s decision to expand its presence in the city with a second property. The Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster features 464 rooms and is located just one minute from the River Thames and Tate Britain, and within walking distance of the historic Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament and the iconic Big Ben.

The new hotel is also close to Buckingham Palace, St James’s Park and the London Eye, and offers guests a full buffet breakfast, a hallmark of RIU’s city offerings, along with a lobby café bar, meeting rooms and a fully equipped gym open 24 hours a day.

The new hotel is located around a 15-minute walk from the Hotel Riu Plaza London Victoria and, as a point of interest, its décor features numerous nods to the mysterious world of spies, reflecting its proximity to the headquarters of MI5 and MI6, the British intelligence services.

The Hotel Riu Plaza London The Westminster thus becomes the thirteenth property in RIU’s urban portfolio, joining those already operating in Panama, Guadalajara (México), Madrid, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Berlin, London, Dublin and Toronto. RIU continues to focus on expanding in the world’s major cities and is currently building its third hotel in New York while continuing to explore new opportunities in Europe’s major capitals.
