Planning permission has been granted by Westminster City Council for development of the new 83-bedroom boutique Wellington Hotel in London’s Covent Garden.

The Wellington Hotel will be a joint venture between Hollywood actor Robert De Niro, Capital & Counties (Capco) and BD Hotels. Robert de Niro already operates the Greenwich Hotel in New York also in partnership with BD Hotels.

The London property will span six adjacent buildings – three of which are Grade II-listed. The Wellington Hotel will feature luxury spa facilities, two restaurants, a cafe, a central courtyard and a 64-cover private members club.

Work will begin on the development next year, with the hotel expected to open its doors in 2019.
