Hard Rock Hotel London, Ontario is set to make waves in Canada’s only UNESCO City of Music when it opens in spring 2025.
Nestled within the iconic 100 Kellogg Lane—the country’s largest indoor entertainment complex—this highly anticipated hotel blends rock ‘n’ roll energy with luxury hospitality. But there’s something extra special hidden inside: a secret speakeasy that pays homage to the city’s history.
Tucked away inside this music-infused retreat, the speakeasy, named 1913, nods to the year the Kellogg’s factory first opened. It’s not just any bar—it’s a hidden gem where expertly crafted cocktails meet old-world charm. Guests who manage to find their way in will be treated to mixologist-driven creations, including cereal-infused libations that give a playful nod to the building’s past.
Beyond its mysterious bar, the 164-room Hard Rock Hotel London Ontario is packed with rock-star-worthy amenities. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the lively energy of the surrounding entertainment complex, while specialty suites cater to travelers of all kinds. Families will love rooms featuring bunk beds, while those looking for the ultimate VIP experience can book the Rock Star Suite, complete with a private bar and plush lounge area.
But what truly sets this Hard Rock property apart is its immersive music-first experience. From the moment guests arrive, a 32-foot sculptural guitar towers over the entrance, leading them into a grand lobby filled with historic Kellogg brick, skylights, and memorabilia celebrating London, Ontario’s rich musical heritage. Hard Rock’s signature Sound of Your Stay® program lets guests curate their own soundtrack, spin vinyl on Victrola record players, or even request a Fender guitar for an in-room jam session.
Of course, wellness gets a rock-and-roll twist, too. The Rock Om® yoga program offers DJ-curated soundtracks for an on-demand yoga flow, while the Body Rock® Fitness Centre provides high-energy workouts with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment. And for a truly one-of-a-kind experience? The hotel’s indoor-outdoor pool features an underwater sound system, ensuring the music never stops—even below the surface.
Food and drink lovers will have plenty to explore beyond the hidden 1913 speakeasy. The hotel’s GMT-5 bar offers a sleek cocktail experience, while Sessions Restaurant & Bar serves up globally inspired dishes in a lively setting.
With its fusion of music, history, luxury, and hidden surprises, Hard Rock Hotel London, Ontario is shaping up to be more than just a place to stay—it’s a destination in itself. Now accepting reservations, this one-of-a-kind hotel is gearing up to bring an unforgettable experience to travelers and locals alike.
