Nine Elms first five star hotel opened earlier this month, with the arrival of the sparkling new Park Hyatt London River Thames.

The 18-storey, 203-room hotel has stunning views up and down the river and a ballroom will have capacity for up to 820 guests. There are four restaurants including a Cantonese flagship in a nod to the building’s Chinese ownership. The hotel also boasts a magnificent “wine library” with 1,300 different wines on offer.

Why are we telling you this? Well, the downstairs Nine Elms bar is illuminated by an installation of 400 tulip shaped bulbs in homage to the area’s history as the site of New Covent Garden Market for the last 50 years.

So, pop in, have a drink and think of the market!
