London Hilton on Park Lane undergoes refurbishment
London Hilton on Park Lane has embarked upon a multimillion pound refurbishment.
Starting with the hotel's 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.
The rooms and suites will maximise the hotel’s panoramic views over London and Hyde Park, with natural materials and colour schemes giving a nod to the glamour of the '60s.
A new lobby layout will enhance guests’ arrival, providing an open, bright and welcoming space with seating and a brand-new lobby bar.
The ground floor restaurant will also be renovated and relaunched, offering modern British 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 with a colour scheme of greens, natural and fresh tones.
Matthew Mullan, general manager at London Hilton on Park Lane says, "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 hotel has hosted more than 11 million guests since its opening in 1963. Launched 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, with this refurbishment standing as its most significant since opening. 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 to bring its new vision to life.
