Four Seasons Hotel and Residences at Heron Plaza, London

The City of London has granted planning permission to the Heron Plaza, a 135m tower on Bishopsgate just a stone’s throw from its skyscraping namesake. Heron International, a leading pan European property group, announces that it has submitted a planning application for a major hotel, residential, retail development and substantial new public open space. Four Seasons Hotel and Residences London at Heron Plaza is the second, and concluding, phase of the works initiated by the construction of the adjacent Heron Tower. Both projects come together to establish a new mixed use centre which will offer a significant addition to the City’s architecture, environment and facilities for business.

Four Seasons Hotel and Residences London at Heron Plaza will be a major landmark within the City of London and a significant addition to the City’s architecture, environment and facilities for business and will be the first purpose built, luxury hotel constructed in Central London for 30 years; the 43 storey tower will comprise 190 hotel guestrooms/suites and 120 branded residences, state of the art conference and banqueting facilities, top quality meeting and events space, a gym, spa and swimming pool, and will be unmatched in scale and quality by any existing hotels in the City, making it a unique destination. The plaza, at the nucleus of Heron Plaza, will create a new public space animated by shops and cafes at its edges whilst retaining the most characteristic buildings on Bishopsgate and Devonshire Row which will be renovated to form an integral part of the new development.
