Nearly 10 years of planning and more than two years of construction will draw to a close when Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London launches its soft opening on 4th February 2010.

During the soft opening period, the hotel will offer limited availability as it undergoes final preparations including the completion of its full-service spa, swimming pool and gym.

The £350 million hotel is situated at the foot of Westminster Bridge in the heart of London's South Bank with uninterrupted views to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

Eli Papouchado, chairman of Park Plaza Hotels, said: "We will be unveiling a spectacular new hotel that offers all the hallmarks of the Park Plaza Hotels & Resorts brand – contemporary design, modern facilities and warm, engaging service – with an unrivalled location, stunning views and a host of unique touches designed to create an exceptional guest experience."

The hotel's dining experiences, including its signature brasserie-style restaurant, sushi restaurant, bar, and lounge will be crafted by renowned chef Joel Antunes. Best known in the UK for his work in 1990s creating London's Michelin-starred Les Saveurs, Antunes has returned to London following a decade abroad. Guests also will be able to enjoy the ultimate Italian coffee bar experience, espressamente illy.

Park Plaza Westminster Bridge will be the third Park Plaza hotel located on London's South Bank. The adjacent Park Plaza County Hall opened in 2008 and nearby Park Plaza Riverbank opened in 2005. Also in London are the Park Plaza Victoria and the Park Plaza Sherlock Holmes hotel on Baker Street.
