Dorsett Hospitality International is to open its second London property next year, located next to Aldgate Underground station and overlooking the 18th century St Botolph Church.
The development was first announced back in 2013, but the group has now confirmed the hotel will open in the first quarter of 2017, within a 13-storey building formerly known as The Matrix.
Dorsett City will feature 275 rooms, as well as two restaurants, a bar and 1,600 square feet of meeting space.
Dorsett City will join Dorsett Shepherds Bush as the group’s second London property. Business Traveller reviewed the 317-room hotel, housed within the former Shepherds Bush Pavillion, in early 2015.
The group currently owns and manages 30 hotels in China, Singapore, Malaysia and the UK, with eight hotels set to open in Malaysia, Australia, Hong Kong and the UK “in the next couple of years”.
