CitizenM unveils design of upcoming London Olympia hotel

CitizenM has unveiled the design of its fifth London hotel, CitizenM London Olympia.

The 146-room hotel will comprise the first floor with front-of-house and three guest room floors, which will also accommodate three societyM meeting rooms.

The hotel interiors will be designed by CitizenM’s design team and Amsterdam-based partner, concrete, and will feature designer furniture from long-term collaborator Vitra.

Guest rooms will include CitizenM’s XL king-size beds, powerful rain showers, and large flat-screen TVs.

Set to open in 2025 as the 38th hotel in the brand’s global portfolio, it follows recent openings in Boston Back Bay and Miami South Beach and the upcoming 2025 opening of CitizenM Dublin St Patrick’s.

The new opening will form part of the transformed Olympia, currently undergoing a £1.3bn regeneration led by Yoo Capital and Deutsche Finance International.

Claudia Abt, chief design officer, CitizenM said: “At CitizenM, in all our properties, we create spaces that not only reflect the essence of modern living but also honour the rich heritage of their surroundings. With our upcoming London Olympia hotel, we had the unique opportunity to blend the vibrant history of this iconic location with our signature contemporary design.

“Preserving the historical elements of the site while delivering the comfort, creativity, and style that our guests expect has been an inspiring challenge. The result is a truly special space that connects the past and the present, whilst continuing to retain history and our citizenM flair.”

John Hitchcox, chairman and co-founder, Yoo Capital, added: “We’re excited to partner with CitizenM, whose blend of modern design and respect for Olympia’s heritage perfectly aligns with our vision. As we look ahead to the launch in late 2025, this collaboration is a key step in bringing our ambitions as a creative destination to life.”
