Alongside its bedrooms, the hotel will also comprise a rooftop restaurant and café.

Louise Gillon, head of hotel finance at Leumi UK, says: “This deal has fortified our long-standing relationship with 4C Hotel Group. Working with the team previously, we have always been very impressed by the quality of their developments and this one has been no different.”

4C Hotel Group owns eight hotels in and around London including the Westin London City.

Canopy London City will be the brand’s 14th hotel, joining properties in the US, Iceland, Croatia and China.
