OPENING THE DOOR TO THE POLITICAL HEARTLAND OF BRITAIN. InterContinental London Westminster opens its doors in November 2012, injecting a new lease of life into an historic former government building, Queen Anne’s Chambers. In an area where politics, business and influencers come together, the hotel is situated within a few minutes' walk of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament, well within the eight minute division bell. The hotel will feature 256 rooms, 7 meeting rooms and exceptional dining at Blue Boar Smokehouse and Bar.
