There are three food and beverage venues: The Nine Elms Kitchen & Terrace, offering English-inspired dishes made with local, seasonal ingredients; The Nine Elms Bar & Lounge, serving signature cocktails; and TAMISé Tea Lounge & Wine Library, setting the stage with atmospheric views. There will also be a fourth restaurant opening later this year that will have a menu dedicated to Cantonese cuisine.
The hotel’s wellness space includes six spa treatment rooms, a 1,550-square-foot fitness center, and an indoor pool. The spa has panoramic river views and plenty of natural lighting. Park Hyatt London River Thames also offers a large, flexible meetings and events space spanning 14,337 square feet and able to accommodate 830 guests with one of the largest ballrooms to open in London since 1929.
