The Battersea Power Station Development Will Feature a Pool-Topping Hotel
Cadhla Gray — October 22, 2015 — Art & Design
The iconic London Battersea Power Station development is continuously expanding, with a skyline-viewing infinity pool in the newest luxury hotel design. Foster + Partners Architects have proposed this hotel go beside the historic power station's chimneys. The hotel would have 160 rooms while the pool would be set within a rooftop garden designed by James Corner Field Operations.
As a part of The Skyline, this infinity pool-topping hotel would both act as and provide an incredible sight to see, with its placement right beside one of the towering white pillar chimneys. The restaurant and bar within have a design with wide glass panels on the power station-facing wall, to provide a view while dining as well. The hotel will be a part of phase three of the Battersea Power Station development plans.
