glh to Open Second Amba Hotel in London

glh, the London-based global hotel subsidiary of the Singapore-listed GuocoLeisure Group, has unveiled plans to open its second Amba hotel in London.

With the opening of Amba Hotel Marble Arch, just over one year since the first Amba Hotel opened in Charing Cross, Amba Hotels will operate almost 1,000 bedrooms in the heart of central London.

To meet the standard of the new brand, the new Amba Hotel Marble Arch has undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment. In addition to fully refurbished bedrooms, bathrooms and public areas, every staff member has completed the Amba Hotels bespoke training programme designed to multi-skill and empower the staff at the hotel to welcome guests as if they were visitors to their own home.

All 692 bedrooms and studio apartments have been fully refurbished using customer reviews and an international research programme commissioned by Amba Hotels.

Amba Hotel Marble Arch has some of the largest bedrooms in the West End (average at 33sqm) and will offer complimentary in-room mini-bar, an in-room Nespresso coffee machine, free unlimited WiFi, an in-room tablet and Samsung Smart TVs.

Mike DeNoma, Chief Executive Officer for glh hotels said, “The success of Amba Hotel Charing Cross demonstrates how the brand has listened to customers in order to address the needs of international guests. Amba Hotels will be operating almost 1,000 bedrooms just over one year after launching the brand. The landmark Amba Hotel Marble Arch opening demonstrates how committed we are to providing great customer experiences in city centre locations, and as the biggest owner operator of hotels in London, we understand the critical importance of helping guests stay comfortable and connected. Retaining our position as a digital innovation leader as we develop the Amba Hotel portfolio is a key promise to guests and owners alike.”
