Hard Rock Hotels is returning to Canada with the opening of two new locations in Ontario. The first location, which will also have a casino, will open in Ottawa in 2025. The second location, in London, will open in late 2024 at 100 Kellogg Lane.

Peter Morton and Isaac Tigrett opened a Hard Rock Cafe in London, UK back in 1971. Now, Hard Rock International is one of the most widely recognized companies worldwide, with locations in over 74 countries.

The Hard Rock Hotel in London will be at 100 Kellogg Lane. This location is Canada’s most expansive entertainment complex, covering one million square feet. Visitors of all ages can enjoy several restaurants like Powerhouse Brewery, Paradigm Spirits, and The Club House, as well as different attractions, including the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame and soon, the Children’s Museum of London.

Additionally, the complex features exciting activities such as the highest indoor ropes course in North America, zip lines, a 75-foot free fall, and a trampoline park of more than 20,000 square feet.

Hard Rock’s 353-room future hotel, which will transform the historic site of the former Kellogg’s factory, will be completed in two phases: the first phase will open in December with an initial opening of 163 rooms. The second phase will add another 189 rooms, but the timing for this phase remains uncertain.

The hotel’s design will retain the original charm and atmosphere of the historic site, incorporating industrial and luxury elements. Additionally, guests can also enjoy Hard Rock’s signature amenities.

According to the 100 Kellogg Lane website, one of its unique offerings is The Sound of Your Stay program. This program consists of three parts to get guests in the groove during their stay:

1. Guests receive an in-room Crosley vinyl player delivered to their door.

2. They are provided a heritage guitar delivery with an amp and headphones for jam sessions.

3. Guests can choose from various carefully curated playlists to stream or download.

In addition to The Sound of Your Stay program, the Hard Rock Hotel also offers other signature amenities on-site. These include Body Rock Fitness, which provides a cutting-edge workout with innovative training systems steps away from all the rooms.

Guests can also take advantage of The Rock Spa, which offers a space for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

Construction on the property is well underway, and you can follow updates on the 100 Kellogg Lane Facebook page. You’ll find London’s new Hard Rock Hotel at 100 Kellogg Lane in late 2024.
