45 Park Lane

"Wow. Always looked after here, the best food at CUT & the summer terrace. Culinary Director Elliott Grover & GM Lee Kelly are a dream team and pull out all the stops. The lobster rolls, snacks, ‘popcorn’, haddock etc are amazing. Nevermind the Champagne and strawberry Lollies! You can see why they chose Chef Elliott to cook at the Oscars. Modern hotel and art Deco, it is a really interesting addition to the Dorchester collection. Really thankful for the hospitality here, because you get looked after like VVVIPs. I do believe 45 Park Lane is a hidden gem. 5* food and staff."

"Having been born in Mayfair and still retaining a home here, one is seldom in need of using local hotels for the night. Finding myself in possession of a voucher from an auction last year for a one-night stay at 45 Park Lane, part of the Dorchester Collection, allowed me the opportunity to see what this newer property on Park Lane, in the shadow of the grand Dorchester hotel, where my grandparents celebrated almost every anniversary, could offer. A short ten-minute walk from my front door led me to the doorman, who greeted me warmly as I entered an elegant lobby that immediately felt calm and relaxing. The front desk was staffed by equally welcoming team members who instinctively know how to make guests feel at ease. From the moment of identifying who I was and throughout the remainder of my stay, I was always addressed by my name - a tradition most hotels abandoned long ago. I was escorted to my room, located on the 6th floor, overlooking the treetops of Hyde Park. The room was beautifully appointed, with a large sitting area away from the indulgent king-size bed, the coffee table piled with delectable treats. The bathroom is elegant, with a deep bath, a rain shower, a Toto toilet, and all the luxurious lotions one expects from a five-star property. Venturing to the pool, I was genuinely surprised to see a stunning 20-metre lap pool (as a member of the RAC Club, whose pool is hard to beat). An enjoyable 1km swim was made even more so by having the pool to myself. Heading back to my room, which has now been turned down, I relaxed with room service, which offers an interesting array of epicurean options, with Asian-inspired creations excellently executed. Sleep is easy to achieve because external noise from Park Lane is nonexistent. A morning swim prepared me for breakfast, which consisted of a green health concoction, beautifully crafted pastries and a scrumptious homemade granola. All of this can, of course, be offered by any five-star hotel, but what sets 45 Park Lane apart is the courtesy and professionalism of the dedicated team who ensure your every wish is catered for. As lunch was included in my auction item, I enjoyed their Sunday roast, showing off the best of British ingredients. 45 Park Lane is located on the edge of Hyde Park and is an easy stroll to Bond Street, Oxford Street, and Shepherd Market, as well as a lovely meander across the park to Knightsbridge. If a pool is important to you, then 45 Park Lane offers the longest pool of any hotel in the area. If superlative service is important to you, then 45 Park Lane delivers on every level."
