ibis Earls Court hotel to re-open as a two-brand property

The massive (for West London) ibis Earls Court hotel is approaching the end of a major refurbishment.

The hotel has split into two during the works:

ibis London Earls Court room
  • Mercure London Earls Court will have 282 rooms, of which 144 will be available from the end of July and the remainder completed by the end of the year

A new restaurant, Barnaby’s, has also been created.

I suspect that rates will be low and that, given that the new rooms are looking good, this will represent a decent deal for someone looking for a cheap option.

This hotel used to be in high demand due to having the Earls Court exhibition centre opposite. This has now been demolished and will be replaced by housing. The Olympia exhibition centre is also closed for refurbishment, and when it reopens will have Hyatt and citizenM hotels on site.

History may show that the hotel should have been demolished and turned into apartments rather than refurbishing it, but for now you can take advantage of what should be decent deals.

Both hotels are part of the Accor Live Limitless loyalty scheme which we reviewed here.

You can book the ibis London Earls Court here and, for stays from late July, book Mercure London Earls Court here.
