H10 Hotels Opens Its First Hotel in the UK

Hotel Chain expands its portfolio in Europe as it opens a sumptuous boutique hotel in Waterloo

MARCH 1, 1010 - Today H10 Hotels, one of the leading boutique hotel chains in Spain, opens the doors of its first UK location. The H10 London Waterloo is located on Waterloo Road, with sensational views of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye. It is within easy walking distance of London Waterloo train and underground stations and is the perfect base from which to explore the capital when enjoying a city break or long weekend.

This stunning new hotel offers a quality European experience in the heart of London. The décor combines avant-garde European functionalism with a very British style. The hotel has been built to the highest levels of quality and comfort, with large windows which flood the hotel with natural light.

Designed the interior designer Pedro Peña, it offers 144 standard rooms, 32 deluxe rooms and the exclusive Waterloo suite, which has superb views of the London Eye and across the city skyline.

To ensure the comfort of each guest, each room is equipped with an LCD TV with all major international channels, free Wi-Fi connection, intelligent temperature control, Media Hub with iPod and PC connection and Textures Collection toiletries.

The hotel also features an open-plan bar, the Circus Bar, and the Three O Two restaurant which offers a delicious combination of Mediterranean specialties and international cuisine, with unrivalled views across Waterloo Road.

The H10 Hotels chain is known for its commitment to looking after its guests’ minds and bodies with the highest-quality treatments available. The Despacio Beauty Centre at the H10 London Waterloo is a health and beauty facility on the eighth floor, where guests can enjoy its sauna, fitness room, hydromassage and an exclusive range of custom treatments.

The H10 London Waterloo’s central location and stylish décor also make it the ideal meeting or conference venue. It has four spacious meeting rooms which can accommodate up to 50 people and are equipped with the latest audio-visual technology. To satisfy every business need, the H10 London Waterloo has free Wi-Fi and ADSL connections throughout the building.

The opening of the H10 London Waterloo is part of the chain’s expansion into major European cities. The first hotel in Europe outside of Spain, H10 Roma Città, opened in 2008 and the H10 Berlin Ku’Damm is scheduled to launch in the last quarter of 2010.

Hotel Human Resources: The Biggest Challenges
The economic challenges of the past four years have led many hotel companies to re-examine the ways in which they do business and how they deploy talent. In many cases, the work did not go away and fewer people were left to carry on the tasks that had previously been shared among many. As we work our way out of the recession and look forward to a healthier economic environment, there is an understanding that despite recovering business levels, we may never see the return of former staffing levels. This "new norm" of operating with leaner teams has led Human Resources professionals and people managers to look at career development and growth opportunities in a new light. The March Hotel Business Review will take a look at some of the strategies being used by successful hotel brands, and techniques human resource directors are currently exploring.
