Advantages: True five-star oasis of calm and comfort with a few tricks up its sleeve. Disadvantages: It would be somewhat churlish to nit-pick. Read the review!
I have just returned, very happy, from the Hilton. I have often returned, happy, from a Hilton, but this has always been - and will always be - THE Hilton. The London Hilton on ParkLane has, always been "The Hilton" and this 28-storey icon is a London landmark that I have wanted to stay in for nigh on 30 years. This weekend, the dream came true. Nor was the bubble burst.
Booking
I booked on-line through the Hilton website and was offered a rate of just under UKP 128, plus taxes. The room-only room rate of UKP 150 (about $300) was something of a snip and it would have been rude not to accept it; it was about half of what you'd normally expect to fork out for a room in this hotel, which holds some quite extraordinary accolades, including "Best Business Hotel in Europe 2005" and "Daily Telegraph Best British Hotel 2002".

Advantages: Excellent location, high level of expecation in terms of standard and service Disadvantages: Can be expensive, even for a cocktail !
A hotel with one of the most prime locations in London, the 5-star London Hilton on ParkLane, boasts one of the more salubrious addresses and settings of the Hilton group's London portfolio, slightly set back from the busy traffic of ParkLane, overlooking Hyde Park.
The hotel is modern, but with a certain degree of grandeur, with a spacious lobby, behind which lies the sweeping staircases up the Grand Ballroom and Wellington Ballroom. The latter boats fantastic views across ParkLane over to Hyde Park, particularly impressive in the eraly evening and an ideal setting for cocktail recpetions before dinner in the Grand Ballroom - for functions in the 700 - 1,000 region. I have been to a number of dinner funtions at the hotel, and the food at the two most recent dinners was actually of a very high quality ... I state that ...
Advantages: Great location. Excellent value for London. Brilliant service. Luxurious rooms! Disadvantages: Still expensive as it's London!
of the other hotels in the IHG portfolio as listed above. Well worth it!
Arrival
Whenever I visit London I drive. You may think I?m crazy but I just hate the tube and traveling by train and the idea of a coach journey makes me want to stick needles in my eyes so I use my own transportation to get me there. No luxury limousines this time, unless you count my own car hehe. So after my short two hour drive down the M1 I arrived on ParkLane.
The hotel is situated on ParkLane at Hyde Park Corner and is easily found. Although it looks a bit 1960?s architecture from the outside do not be fooled! Once I had driven round to the driveway I was greeted by the doorman who took my luggage from the car and whisked my car of to the basement car park for the princely sum of £50 per night. Not cheap but this is Mayfair and when the petrol and parking is ...
