Natural History Museum Dinosaur Family Suite at Park Plaza London Riverbank with dinosaur-themed children’s room
Park Plaza London Riverbank’s new Natural History Museum Dinosaur Family Suite will welcome guests from October 2026

Park Plaza London Riverbank is launching a new Dinosaur Family Suite in collaboration with the Natural History Museum, with bookings opening in September 2026.

The suite has been developed through a licensing collaboration with the Natural History Museum. Museum experts advised on the scientific content and room design, including the prehistoric species, vegetation, fossils and specimens featured throughout the space.

Park Plaza and the Museum also worked with creative studio P–O–W and Jon Powell, who helped develop the suite’s design and graphics.


Two Connected Spaces

The Natural History Museum Dinosaur Family Suite is divided into two interconnected spaces.

The adult bedroom takes inspiration from a natural history study. It includes Museum-inspired shelving, maps, fossils and collection details.

A concealed bookcase-style door connects the adult bedroom with the children’s room. The latter draws on the Late Cretaceous Period and includes several dinosaur-themed features.


Dinosaur-Themed Children’s Room

The children’s room combines dinosaur-themed design with educational details developed with input from Natural History Museum experts.

Features include:

  • A bespoke bunk bed incorporated into a Tyrannosaurus rex-inspired structure
  • Floor-to-ceiling murals showing scientifically informed prehistoric species, vegetation and landscapes
  • Dinosaur fossils, specimens and other tactile details
  • Moss-effect flooring and other features designed to evoke a prehistoric habitat
  • Books, guides and hidden educational cues intended to encourage exploration and learning

Suat Binkaya, Senior General Manager at Park Plaza London Riverbank, said: “Families are one of our fastest-growing guest segments, and we know that when they come to London, their main priority is making lasting memories together.

“The Natural History Museum Dinosaur Family Suite gives them a head start on that from the moment they check in. Working with the Natural History Museum’s experts and creative studio P-O-W, we’ve built a room that’s part of the adventure.

“It’s the centrepiece of a much wider expansion of our family accommodation, which includes a range of studios and suites that can accommodate families of up to 5”..

Maxine Lister, Head of Licensing at the Natural History Museum, said: “For many families, a visit to the Natural History Museum is a core memory, roaming through the galleries to discover dinosaurs and the natural world. “We are incredibly excited to be bringing that wonder and magic outside the walls of the museum building and into the Park Plaza hallways and Natural History Museum Dinosaur Family Suite. Together with Park Plaza London Riverbank, we have created a new way for families to immerse themselves in a wonderful prehistoric adventure together, from the comfort of their own hotel room.”


Expanded Family Offering

The new suite forms part of Park Plaza London Riverbank’s wider family accommodation offering.

The hotel also offers a range of studios and suites, along with family dining options and an indoor swimming pool. Its location provides access to attractions on London’s South Bank.

The Natural History Museum Dinosaur Family Suite will be available to book online from 1 September 2026.

Stays will begin on 8 October 2026, with rates starting from £650 per night.
