It was designed by BUJ architects, Uri Blumenthal architects and Digital Space,[2] and was built on the site of the County Hall Island Block, an annex of London County Hall, that was demolished in 2006. The building, also known as No 1 Westminster Bridge Road, had been disused since 1986 and had become derelict, being described by the BBC as "one of London's most hated eyesores".[3]

The hotel opened on 1 March 2010,[4] and cost £300 million.[5] It is part of the PPHE Hotel Group.
