Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has appointed CBRE hotels to find a hotel operator for a new 180 bedroom, upscale hotel within the club’s new stadium.
The new 23-storey hotel forms part of the development of the club’s new multi-purpose 61,500-seater stadium in North London, which is due to open in August 2018 as a venue for concerts and other major sporting events as well as English Premier League football.
Due to launch two years after the stadium in 2020, the hotel will include a destination restaurant, rooftop bar with unrivalled stunning views across London, a swimming pool and private members room.
Additionally, the facility will be London’s third largest conference, banqueting and events venue estimated to attract over 2.5m visitors per year to the new stadium.
David Bailey, CBRE Hotels, said, “This is an iconic project in what will be a world class sports and entertainment venue. Such a prestigious development presents a unique opportunity for an hotelier that can match Tottenham Hotspur’s vision and ambition for this project.”
The search for a new hotel operator comes after Tottenham Hotspur signed a five-year, £400m banking facility last week with Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and HSBC Bank plc.
Donna-Maria Cullen, Executive Director Tottenham Hotspur, commented, “Since embarking on this exciting journey, 1,000 new jobs in the construction, IT, hospitality, retail and sports industries have been created, singlehandedly spearheading the regeneration of Tottenham.
'Once complete our stunning new stadium, hotel and the wider scheme will deliver significant community benefits and an unrivalled fan experience – creating a world-class sports and entertainment destination - and in our birthplace of Tottenham.”
