InterContinental London Westminster rebranding to Conrad in September 2014

InterContinental London Westminster rebranding to Conrad, a Hilton Worldwide luxury hotel brand, is a major hotel shift for the two year old central London property located between Parliament and Buckingham Palace. The six floor, 256 room hotel with 42 premium rooms and suites will not close during the rebranding transition from an IHG InterContinental to Hilton Conrad in September 2014.

InterContinental London Westminster was a recent addition to London luxury hotels, opening in December 2012, after £150m ($225m USD) investment to refurbish the former government building of Queen Anne’s Chambers.

The hotel owners decided Conrad was a better brand fit for their property.

    “The hotel owners decided Conrad was a better brand fit for their property.”

    Hmmm. Unlikely. It is the wrong hotel in the wrong place in the wrong building. Nothing will change that.

    The only upside with Conrad is that IC loyalists already had an established IC to stay at and I doubt many wandered across to Westminster. With no existing Conrad (and most of the central Hilton hotels in London being pretty ropey) it will pick up some business from Hilton loyalists who previously had nowhere decent to go.

    Worth noting that the hotel was turning up a lot on discount deals sites like Travelzoo. It simply wasn’t getting the volume and I doubt that will change.
