A landmark investment in family travel, including a flagship connecting suite sleeping up to eight guests, opening November 2026
Hilton London Metropole, the largest Hilton hotel outside the United States, has announced the multi-million-pound refurbishment of its West Wing, introducing 363 newly designed bedrooms created with families in mind.
Currently underway on a floor-by-floor basis, the refurbishment will be completed in November 2026, further strengthening the hotel’s position as one of London’s leading destinations for family stays. The redesigned accommodation has been thoughtfully created to offer families more space, flexibility and comfort while exploring the capital.
A New Standard for Family Accommodation in London
At the heart of the West Wing is the Four Queen Bed Family Connecting Room – standout accommodation that combines two adjoining dual-queen rooms into a spacious suite sleeping up to eight guests. With five of these suites available, Hilton London Metropole will offer one of the largest family-room configurations among centrally located London hotels.
The West Wing’s 363 bedrooms will also include dual-queen rooms that sleep up to four guests, family rooms with sofa beds that accommodate up to five guests, and a range of accessible room options. Designed in a contemporary style and among the most spacious bedrooms in the hotel, each room has been created to meet the evolving needs of today’s family traveller.
London, Within Easy Reach
Located on Edgware Road, Hilton London Metropole offers excellent connections across the capital and beyond. Guests can reach London Heathrow in just 15 minutes via the Elizabeth line, while many of London’s most-loved family attractions are within easy reach.
Hyde Park, home to the Diana Memorial Playground and expansive green spaces, is just a short walk away, while nearby Little Venice offers a more relaxed pace, with picturesque canals, waterside cafés and family-friendly walks.
The Vision Behind the Investment
Kelly Shrives-Wrist, General Manager of Hilton London Metropole, brings a unique perspective to the West Wing transformation. Having previously spent almost a decade as the hotel’s Commercial Director, she played a key role in shaping the project’s vision before leaving to become the opening General Manager at Hilton Woking. She returned to Hilton London Metropole in November 2025 and now leads the hotel in delivering the transformation she helped bring to life.
