Tottenham Hotspur Football Club are embarking on a search for a hotel operator for their new 180-bedroom hotel that forms part of the regeneration of their stadium in north London.

Due to open in 2020, the 23-storey hotel will include a destination restaurant, rooftop bar, swimming pool and a private members’ room.

The hotel will be located next to the new 61,000-seater stadium, which is due to be completed in time for the start of the 2018/19 season.

The hotel will also be ideally placed to capitalise on both the Spurs’ home fixtures as well as the ambitious sporting and cultural programme planned for the stadium once it opens.

The new stadium is set to become a world-leading sports, leisure and entertainment destination. In addition to hosting English Premier League football, the new stadium will host NFL American football games, concerts and other major sports events.

When complete the stadium will be London’s third largest conference, banqueting and events venue.

Fine dining is also on the menu at the new Spurs stadium. The Roux family are designing menus for the stadium’s new H Club Brasserie style restaurant as well as for the club’s On Four range of lounges and suites which will be spread across the fourth floor of the stadium.
