LONDON, Ont. — Canada’s first Hard Rock Hotels property has opened in London, Ont. Part of 100 Kellogg Lane — Canada’s largest indoor entertainment complex — the new 164-room hotel is situated in the city’s Old East Village.
Alongside specialty suites with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and family-friendly rooms equipped with separate bunk bed areas, the hotel also boasts lavish rockstar and terrace suites, complemented by an array of amenities, including an indoor/outdoor pool with an underwater sound system, cabanas, gourmet bites and craft cocktails. Culinary offerings include the Hard Rock GMT lobby bar and the Sessions restaurant. There’s also a 1913-style speakeasy serving expertly crafted cocktails by skilled mixologists, featuring cereal-infused drinks and classic speakeasy favourites that pay tribute to the history of 100 Kellogg Lane.
The property also includes a Rock Shop for exclusive merchandise and souvenirs, valet parking and a curated collection of music memorabilia.
“The property will help strengthen London’s economy, and its culture and tourism industries, and is perfectly positioned within Canada’s only UNESCO City of Music,” says general manager Brendon Ainscow. “As a Londoner, I couldn’t be more proud and excited to see our city officially become home to Canada’s first Hard Rock Hotel. With the addition of this hotel, London is strengthening its role as an international hub for music and culture. Our local team of over 100 employees are ready to welcome visitors from Southwestern Ontario and across the globe.”
