The first Hard Rock Hotel in Canada has officially opened in London, Ontario. Hard Rock Hotel London, Ontario is part of Canada’s largest indoor entertainment complex and sits in the heart of London’s Old East Village.
Brendon Ainscow, the hotel’s General Manager, said, “The property will help strengthen London’s economy, and its culture and tourism industries, and is perfectly positioned within Canada’s only UNESCO City of Music. As a Londoner, I couldn’t be more proud and excited to see our city officially become home to Canada’s First Hard Rock Hotel. With the addition of this hotel, London is strengthening its role as an international hub for music and culture.”
