Canada’s first Hard Rock hotel is ready to roll, opening reservations for June 1. Located within 100 Kellogg Lane, Hard Rock Hotel London, Ontario, is part of Canada’s largest indoor entertainment complex, including The Factory, and sits in the heart the city’s vibrant Old East Village.
Just minutes from the Western Fair District and a short drive from downtown, the hotel is suitably situated Canada’s only UNESCO City of Music.
“The debut of Hard Rock Hotel London, Ontario, marks an exciting milestone as we bring our iconic brand to this vibrant city,” said John Rees, Sr. VP of Hotel Operations at Hard Rock International. “Guests can expect the signature Hard Rock vibe, where music, entertainment, and hospitality come together to create something truly special.”
The newly constructed hotel will feature 164 guest rooms and specialty suites. Family-style guestrooms feature separate rooms with bunk beds, while the signature Rock Star Suite features a plush living area and bar, exclusive music-inspired touches, and high-end amenities like a private kitchenette, perfect for entertaining in your own one-of-a-kind retreat.
Guests and locals will discover unique culinary and beverage concepts, including GMT-5 bar, Sessions Restaurant & Bar, and a special speakeasy appropriately named after the year the Kellogg’s Factory opened – 1913. The mixologist driven bar will feature cereal-infused libations as an ode to the venue’s history.
The boutique hotel boasts a music-infused sensory experience for the guests. Upon arrival, a 10-m.-high sculptural metallic guitar, marking the entrance for a grand porte-cochere, which combines a theatrical light show and surround sound immersive musical experience. The grand lobby combines elements of the historic Kellogg brick building with new stone tile, multiple skylights, and displays of significant musical memorabilia themed to London’s history and Canada’s contribution to the world music scene.
Meanwhile, the Sound of Your Stay program invites guests to connect with music in immersive ways, from streaming expertly curated playlists with Tracks to spinning classic vinyl on Victrola record players with Wax, or playing a premium guitar delivered to one’s room with Picks.
Additionally, the signature Rock Om program blends yoga with DJ-curated soundtracks for on-demand, in-room sessions that inspire balance and relaxation. Guests seeking a more dynamic workout can visit the Body Rock Fitness Centre, fully equipped with Technogym equipment and energizing playlists. And the indoor/outdoor pool provides the perfect place to recharge, complete with an innovative underwater sound system that keeps the music flowing, even below the surface.
