Khalaf Ahmad Al-Habtoor, chairman of Al-Habtoor Group, said that he has purchased the Hilton London Wembley in a move to boost the group’s international hospitality portfolio.
Khalaf Ahmad Al-Habtoor said: “I am delighted with the addition of the Hilton London Wembley. I have been looking at the London market for some time. The hotel is in an ideal location. It is close to the iconic Wembley Stadium, Heathrow Airport and the center of London.”
The contemporary hotel, which first opened in 2012, boasts 361 rooms and suites, an indoor swimming pool, fitness center complete with sauna and steam rooms.
It features a variety of food and beverage outlets catering to the needs of hotel guests and outside customers.
The Hilton London Wembley is an ideal location for meetings, conferences, exhibitions and events.
The Grand Ballroom boasts 693 sq m of space and can host up to 700 people.
There are a further 10 meeting rooms which offer versatile meeting spaces.
The hotel benefits significantly from its proximity to Wembley Stadium, the SSE Arena (London’s second-largest indoor events space), and the London Designer Outlet.
It also benefits from a strategic location; right next to great transport links allowing guests to reach central London in minutes.
The Hilton Hotel Wembley overlooks the National Stadium in the heart of Wembley Park, an 85-acre regeneration project involving the development of large-scale retail, residential, offices and entertainment facilities.
The purchase brings the total number of hotels in Al Habtoor Investment’s — part of the Al Habtoor Group — international property portfolio to six.
