The magical immersive light experience that takes you to the heart of the festive season.

This festive season, art’otel London Battersea Power Station invites you to experience The HeArt of Christmas—an immersive, multi-sensory art installation and interactive exhibition that celebrates hope, renewal, and community.

Running daily from 12 PM to 8 PM, between 30th November 2024 and 4th January 2025, this unique experience will take place in the art’beat studio and is hosted by Nine Elms Arts Ministry, featuring the innovative artistry of conceptual artist Alexa Muen.

Created by conceptual artist Alexa Muen, this multi-sensory journey invites visitors to escape the festive rush and connect with art in a transformative way.

Alexa Muen, a renowned British/European artist celebrated for her innovative work in light-based multimedia art, has crafted six interconnected artworks that come together to form a cohesive and evocative journey. The installation features three mixed-media light paintings, a mesmerizing mirror assemblage, a calming soundscape, and an original seasonal perfume, all designed to explore themes of Rejoice, Reflect, Renewal, Reborn, and Release. Together, these elements create a serene and contemplative environment where visitors can pause, reflect, and connect with the season’s deeper meaning.

Beyond the installation, The HeArt of Christmas offers a rich program of free events and workshops designed to engage the local community and celebrate creativity. Adults can enjoy Christmas craft workshops led by local artists or attend exclusive “Meet the Artist – Lates“, where Alexa Muen will personally guide small groups through the installation, sharing insights into her creative process. For families, the exhibition is an inclusive space, with special activities such as the “Heart of Bethlehem” event on Christmas Eve, featuring festive storytelling, carols, and interactive crafts for children, accompanied by their parents.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience the magic of art, light, and community. The HeArt of Christmas runs from 30th November 2024 to 4th January 2025 at art’otel London Battersea Power Station, offering a space to reflect, rejoice, and reconnect this holiday season.

Admission is free, and all are welcome.

Best Online Rates Guarantee

Found a lower rate? We’ll match it and give you an additional 25% discount on your stay.

Your reservation must be made on Radissonhotels.com and claim must be validated by our Customer Care team.

The Best Rates Guarantee does not apply to the following rate types:

  • Qualified discount rates available to members of special programs or associations (i.e. AAA, senior, government, loyalty, employee discounts);
  • Special “exclusive offers” or “online coupons” or email solicitations not intended for the general public;
  • Rates not publicly available, such as negotiated Group or Corporate rates; including group extend-the-stay rates;
  • Package rates that include the room and other components such as parking, travel, car rental, entertainment, or meals excluding breakfast;
  • Rates found on opaque, bidding, or auction sites where the hotel brand, the specific hotel, the hotel location or price is not known until booking is finalized. Examples of these types of sites include but are not limited to Priceline and Hotwire;
  • Any other unpublished or private rates or sites requiring login.

Comparison Rates: The Comparison Rate must be found on a website available to be booked by the general public other than Radissonhotels.com within 24 hours of booking your hotel room on Radissonhotels.com and at least 48 hours prior to midnight hotel local time of your arrival date.

The Comparison Rate must be for the same hotel, same reservation date(s), same room type (i.e. room size and amenities), same number of guests, same currency as the Radissonhotels.com confirmation email, and the same advance payment and refund policies and restrictions must apply.

The Comparison Rate must still be available at the time Customer Care validates the claim.

The rates will be compared net of any taxes, gratuities, or any other fees associated with the room rate; however, if the Radissonhotels.com rate has taxes included, we will verify that the total cost of your Comparison Rate is lower so that prices are compared on a relative basis. Rate disparities solely attributable to rounding, fluctuations and/or difference in currency exchange rates are excluded from the Best Rates Guarantee. Claims will be denied when the difference between the Comparison Rate and the rate on Radissonhotels.com is less than 1USD, 1EUR or 1GBP or equivalent in the local currency of the hotel.

When a claim covers a stay for multiple, consecutive nights, the rates will be reviewed based on the average over the entire stay (the total consecutive nights stayed by the same guest or guests in the same hotel, regardless of the number of check-ins or check-outs or separate reservations). Comparison Rates applicable to only a portion of the reservation will not be honored.

If your reservation meets these criteria, let us know by submitting the claim form.

Customer Care will verify the rate meets all of these Best Rates Guarantee terms and conditions and contact you via email. Once confirmed, we will match the lower rate and discount that rate by an additional 25%. For prepaid bookings, the difference will be refunded on the applicable credit card by the hotel. You may only submit one claim for each stay.

If a new reservation confirmation number is provided for the new rate, it must be presented at the hotel at the time of check-in.

The Best Rates Guarantee is void where prohibited by law.

We reserve the right to change or discontinue the Best Rates Guarantee at any time without prior notice. We retain the sole right to determine the validity of any claim, whether a rate qualifies as a Comparison Rate, and whether a claim has satisfied the terms and conditions stated herein.
