Recently, our team visited the iconic for an inspection visit – and what a venue to walk through!
Overlooking Hyde Park, this independently owned mid-century gem is a benchmark for hospitality excellence, having invested heavily in its guest experience over the years. This hotel boasts 411 beautifully appointed rooms & suites, a stunning Carrara marble staircase in the lobby, and breathtaking views across London – no wonder it sits at #1 on TripAdvisor for London hotels 😍
We rounded off the visit with dinner at NIPA Thai – and honestly, it was the perfect end to the day 🍛 This award-winning restaurant holds the prestigious Thai Select Award from the Thai Government and 2 AA Rosettes, recognised for its outstanding authenticity. From the teak décor sourced directly from Thailand to the all-female, all-Thai kitchen led by Head Chef Sanguan Parr (with over 25 years at the helm!) – every detail tells a story of craft and care 🤍
