Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane

"Park Lane executive lounge with Hyde Park views, the easiest BIA-to-meeting handover in W1."

Why Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane for business

Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane opened in 1970 in a custom-built tower at the southern end of Park Lane, immediately adjacent to Hyde Park Corner. The hotel was completely renovated under the Pierre-Yves Rochon design programme in 2010-2011 and the result is the most-functionally-engineered Park-Lane palace hotel, the rooms are the largest at the entry tier of any Park-Lane competitor, the desks are designed for actual work, and the Wi-Fi is the fastest of any palace-tier hotel in London. One hundred and ninety-three rooms and suites, the Royal Suite is the multi-bedroom flagship. The Executive Floor and Spa Suites have private-floor service. The Spa at Four Seasons London is the rooftop programme, the swimming pool overlooks Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace's east-facing facade. Amaranto is the business-dinner room; the lobby Amaranto Lounge is the after-meeting cocktail space. Four Seasons Park Lane is the right pick for the London business trip where execution reliability matters more than narrative, the rooms are the right size, the executive lounge genuinely delivers, the breakfast is on schedule, the airport transfer is on time, the front desk handles the corporate-loyalty admin without prompting. The hotel is the most-reliable London business pick.
