The hotel is only a few miles from Olympic Park, and in preparation for the London Olympics 2012 the hotel has received an overhaul of the bedroom air conditioning system.

The project included replacement of bedroom a/c condenser units, controls, condenser pipework runs within ceiling voids and up to roof mounted VRV outdoor units. The work had to be undertaken on a carefully phased basis to maximise room availability through the contract period, and to ensure the new system was up and running well ahead of London Olympics opening ceremony on 27 July 2012.
