Less than two years after it had opened, InterContinental surrendered the management of its second London property – InterContinental London Westminster, located in the former Queen Anne's Chambers. It became the Conrad London St. James in September, 2014. It has 256 guest rooms and suites, 7 meeting rooms and a restaurant. This stately structure, with its 19th-century façade, was once a war-time residence of lobbyists and civil servants. The building was renovated and opened its doors as London's first Conrad hotel. Nowadays the stylish interior features original art installations and a contemporary design.[1] The press release stated that the hotel would become the twenty-fourth Conrad hotel, and the first in London.[2]
Queen Anne's Chambers
Built at the turn of the 20th century, Queen Anne's Chambers was a collection of chambers available for short to mid-term rent for those with a need to be close to the seat of power, being located very close to the
Division Bell
The hotel is situated within hearing distance of the Division Bell – the bell that tolls when there is a division in parliament, signalling that all members must return to vote.[4]
