The hotel dates back to 1908, and a programme of renovation has started under its owner Archer Hotel Capital.
Archer said it made the decision to operate The Dilly as an independent hotel when the management contract with Marriott International – of which the Le Meridien brand is part – expired.
The hotel has 283 rooms and suites; The Terrace restaurant; Madhu’s Indian pop-up restaurant; one of London’s largest underground pools; a health club and spa with two squash courts; a dedicated dance studio; and several meeting rooms.
