NEW YORK, NY - February 15, 2011 - Worldhotels, the leading group for independent hotels, welcomes London's largest hotel to its portfolio - the newly built, 583-room Mint Hotel Tower of London, which opened in December 2011. The hotel occupies a prime location on Pepys Street, near ancient and modern icons, with breathtaking views of the Tower of London.

Mint Hotel, which last month was rebranded from City Inn, is part of a group of seven hotels in the United Kingdom; other properties are located in Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds, London Westminster and Manchester.

Mint Hotel Tower of London offers some of the best guest suites in London with direct views of the Tower, spacious living areas with additional dining and working spaces, and an award-winning guest services team.

As a standard offering of the hotel group, Mint Hotel provides free Wi-Fi throughout the property, as well as a multi-media iMac entertainment system in each guest room and meeting room. Additionally, a wide selection of complimentary television channels are available, as is an onsite DVD library.

Floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of natural light, a feature carried through to the meeting and event spaces on the first floor and in the SkyLounge. The SkyLounge is an inventive venue on the rooftop of the hotel that offers spectacular meeting and private dining rooms, as well as a prestigious destination bar with unique panoramic views. Two terraces that are accessible from SkyLounge will offer Al Fresco dining areas in the summer.

Sandy Orr, executive chairman and co-founder of Mint Hotel said, “We are privileged to have an opportunity to open a new hotel in this world-class setting overlooking the Tower of London. Worldhotels is helping us to create greater awareness of the property outside the U.K. We look forward to welcoming both British and international guests to our new property.”

David Orr, chief executive and co-founder added, “The opening of Mint Hotel Tower of London is a significant step for our company, as we prepare for our first international hotel opening in Amsterdam in spring 2011.”

Worldhotels' Managing Director Robert Hornman added, “We are very excited to welcome this newly-built, ultra-modern property on the doorstep of London's premier business district. It caters to discerning business and leisure travelers alike, and will create a hub of activity at its publicly accessible restaurant and lounge.”
