Accor, the world’s leading hotel operator and market leader in Europe, is delighted to announce the signing of the Novotel London Wembley. The hotel will be operated under a management contract and is due to open by April 2014.

The 235-room Novotel London Wembley is strategically positioned close to Wembley Stadium, the sporting and concert venue, which hosts a variety of world-class events year round. The hotel is also located just minutes from Wembley Park Underground, allowing guests easy access to central London and its attractions via the Jubilee and Metropolitan tube lines. In addition, the hotel will offer 12 long-stay apartments, two meeting rooms and an In Balance Fitness facility to ensure that every guest has the perfect stay.

Thomas Dubaere, Managing Director, Accor UK & Ireland said: ‘I am pleased to welcome the Novotel London Wembley to our midscale portfolio in the UK. Like all of our hotels, the Novotel London Wembley will open in a strategic location and has been specially developed to cater to the needs of every guest, whether they are staying for business or leisure. The signing of this hotel particularly strengthens our presence across the capital, and the hotel is ideally located for our guests to take advantage of all that Wembley Stadium and the Greater London area have to offer.’

Novotel hotels are positioned in key locations in the heart of major cities, business districts and tourist destinations, offering efficiency and comfort to business customers while also satisfying leisure travellers through contemporary design, up-to-date technology and a flexible approach. The brand’s UK flagship opened in Blackfriars in 2012, and since then Accor has also announced the signing of a new-build Novotel at Canary Wharf as well as the signing of the Novotel Brentford, which are due to open in 2015 and 2014 respectively.
