Hilton has announced it is set to open The Derby London City, part of the Curio Collection, in London’s financial district in February 2026.
The Derby London City is owned and operated by Dominus. The 234-room property, including 15 suites with panoramic views of the City skyline, is designed to “combine British heritage with contemporary style”. It will occupy a reimagined landmark on Great Tower Street, close to the Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral.
Dominus said the development pays tribute to the area’s banking history, with interiors created in collaboration with design studio AvroKO. Features include The Treasury Wall, a bespoke installation referencing the district’s financial past, and a daily “Golden Hour” ritual at 5:10pm – a nod to the hotel’s address at 5–10 Great Tower Street.
The centre of the hotel will feature Rycrofte’s, a restaurant inspired by Sir John Rycrofte, Sergeant of the Larder to Henry VII and Henry VIII. Overlooking St Dunstan in the East Church Garden, it will serve modern British dishes using seasonal ingredients.
Guests will also have access to private dining and meeting rooms for up to 20 delegates, a 24-hour gym, and monthly events under the Mercer’s Market programme, celebrating local artists and artisans.
Matt Williams, director of hotels at Dominus, said: “The opening of The Derby London City, Curio Collection by Hilton marks an exciting new chapter for Dominus Hospitality. It represents our ambitious growth strategy and our commitment to delivering best-in-class experiences for our guests.
“Our vision was to create a destination that not only honours the City’s rich heritage but also reflects the energy and elegance of modern London. From its design to its service, The Derby London City is a celebration of craftsmanship, character and connection.”
