These are exciting times for Imperial London as it seeks to evolve and modernise all areas of the business whilst keeping its unique heritage and culture at its heart. The flagship Imperial Hotel is undergoing a major refurbishment and will open in early 2026 as a Lifestyle Hotel and a new jewel in the crown of London’s hospitality offering.
