LONDON HILTON ON PARK LANE MAYFAIR, LONDON T Rooms The new executive rooms have been extensively updated, including new furnishings and sophisticated bathrooms. All modern amenities are available, including huge beds with crisp linens, a smart TV, a coffee maker, and lightning-fast wifi. The views from our enormous suite were just breathtaking, with a birds-eye perspective of Hyde Park and the city's rooftops stretching as far as the eye could see. Food & Drink The hotel has now introduced a smart new bar, Revery, as part of the refurbishment, which is by the lobby. We knocked back a couple of wonderfully crafted pre-dinner cocktails here before heading next door to another new addition, Park Corner Brasserie. This modern British brasserie has a sleek but casual air, with white walls and floors and statement green banquette seating. Everything we ate here was great, with fresh dishes and exceptional service. Highlights included grilled duck leg with potato mash, broccoli, and shallot sauce, as well as lobster mac and cheese with red pepper. It's also where breakfast is served each morning. There is also a sophisticated afternoon tea option which promises to take diners on a culinary journey via a series of delicate yet indulgent savoury and sweet treats. Our verdict Stay in the heart of Mayfair at one of London's most renowned locations. The London Hilton on Park Lane is conveniently located near Hyde Park Corner Tube and a 10-minute walk from Green Park Tube, making it ideal for sightseeing. Not that you need to go far; head to the new Revery Bar for champagne and cocktails and Park Corner Brasserie for delicious British fare and sophisticated dining on your door step. Amazing Destinations 75 his famous property, with its charming, leafy Mayfair position, has received a stylish makeover as it enters its 60th decade. For location, views, and service, the London Hilton on Park Lane knocks it out of the (Hyde) Park. The London Hilton on Park Lane is a five-star hotel located in exclusive Mayfair, directly across from Hyde Park, and within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, the Royal Albert Hall, West End theatre, world-class shopping, and Kensington Palace. The hotel opened in 1963 as the first Hilton property in the UK and immediately claimed its place alongside the Park Lane Grande Dames. To celebrate its 60th anniversary last year, the hotel underwent a multi-millionpound renovation, and the remodelling is instantly evident, with a large new lobby. This social space is drenched in warm, gold-toned hues and has comfortable seating. It also boasts stunning artwork of suspended golden leaves by London designer Giles Miller. The large executive lounge is located on the first floor and has been entirely renovated. It was always an exceptional area, but now it appears sumptuous as well.
