CTV London's Nick Paparella takes us inside Canada's first Hard Rock Hotel, for a look at everything the facility has to offer.

The first Hard Rock Hotel in Canada is officially open.

Located at 100 Kellogg Ln. in London, Ont., the 164-room hotel celebrated its opening day on Wednesday.

The company believes the property will help strengthen London’s economy, culture and tourism industries, and also highlighted that it 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,” said hotel General Manager Brendon Ainscow. “Our local team of over 100 employees are ready to welcome guests to stay, dine, and discover the Hard Rock difference.”
