London Hilton on Park Lane has embarked upon a highly-anticipated multi-million pound refurbishment, which promises to completely transform the guest experience at the hotel.
Starting with the rooms and suites, the iconic Mayfair hotel, which opened in 1963, is undergoing a top-to-bottom renovation which will celebrate its heritage as the first Hilton hotel to open in the UK.
A new lobby layout will enhance guests’ arrival at the hotel, providing a breathtakingly open, bright and welcoming space with seating and a brand-new lobby bar. The elegant new bar will be a joyful take on modern London living, celebrating artistry and craft and serving up classic cocktails reflective of the hotel’s heritage.
The exceptionally designed rooms and suites will maximise the hotel’s unparalleled panoramic views over London and Hyde Park with natural materials and colour schemes, giving a nod to the glamour of the 1960s with low slung furniture, soft edges and cutting-edge design.
The ground floor restaurant will also be renovated and relaunched offering modern British eating and drinking which champions an elevated local, seasonal and responsible approach to dining. In honour of its position on the edge of Hyde Park, the largest of central London’s Royal Parks, the new restaurant’s interiors will reflect the natural world, using noble materials such as travertine and bronze with a colour scheme of greens, natural, and fresh tones.
Matthew Mullan, general manager at London Hilton on Park Lane, said: “With a 60-year heritage, London Hilton on Park Lane is one of the capital’s most iconic hotels and as we celebrate our anniversary, we can’t wait to showcase this exceptional transformation to our guests. Envisioned by Conrad Hilton as the epitome of modern hospitality back in 1963, this new design pays homage to the hotel’s roots, adding a modern twist and celebrating its location on the edge of one of London’s finest parks.”
The coveted Park Lane hotel has hosted more than 11 million guests since its opening in 1963. Opened by Conrad Hilton himself, it was the largest hotel in Europe at the time, standing at 328 feet high. Every year, it hosts more than 200,000 guests in its 453 rooms. The refurbishment is the most significant since opening, according to Hilton.
The hotel will remain open throughout the renovation, which will be completed in stages to minimise disruption to guests.
London Hilton on Park Lane has contracted G.A. Design International, the award-winning luxury hotel interior design group, to bring its new vision to life.
